Removal of homonymy between Raspailia (Clathriodendron) irregularis (Lendenfeld, 1888) and Raspailia (Hymeraphiopsis) irregularis Hentschel, 1914.
1. Clathriodendron irregularis Von Lendenfeld, 1888: 315 (type localities Port Jackson, New South Wales, and Western Australia). Lendenfeld’s (1888) species is the senior secondary homonym of Raspailia irregularis Hentschel, 1914 because Clathriodendron Lendenfeld, 1888 was considered a junior synonym and subgenus of Raspailia Nardo, 1833 (Hentschel 1911: 381; Hooper 1991: 1195; Hooper 2002: 475), even though Hooper & Wiedenmayer (1994: 366) considered that Lendenfeld’s species was incertae sedis / unrecognisable (following Hallmann 1912: 296). Two syntypes of Lendenfeld’s species exist (AM G9128 from Western Australia and BMNH 1887.1.24.57 from New South Wales) but in Hallmann’s (1912) revision of Lendenfeld’s (1888) species Clathriodendron irregularis he overlooked the syntype in the Australian Museum, such that no lectotype designation has yet been made to fix the type locality, suggested as Port Jackson, New South Wales by Hooper & Wiedenmayer (1994: 366). We here determine that Raspailia (Clathriodendron) irregularis (Lendenfeld, 1888) is the senior secondary homonym of Raspailia irregularis Hentschel, 1914, and the name is to be maintained (ICZN Art. 57.3).
2. Raspailia irregularis Hentschel, 1914: 121 (type locality Wilkes Land, Antarctica). Raspailia irregularis Hentschel, 1914, referred to subgenus Hymeraphiopsis in Hooper (1991), is a junior secondary homonym of Raspailia (Clathriodendron) irregularis (Lendenfeld, 1888), requiring a replacement name (ICZN Art. 57.3 & 60.3).
3. Summary: Raspailia (Clathriodendron) irregularis (Lendenfeld, 1888) is unrecognisable (Hooper & Wiedenmayer 1994) but is the senior secondary homonym of Raspailia (Hymeraphiopsis) irregularis Hentschel, 1914 and the name is maintained (ICZN Art. 57.2). Raspailia (Hymeraphiopsis) irregularis Hentschel, 1914 is the junior secondary homonym of Raspailia irregularis (Lendenfeld, 1888), in the absence of known synonyms requiring a new name (ICZN Art. 60.3), for which Raspailia (Hymeraphiopsis) hentscheli nom. nov. was proposed, named after Ernst Hentschel.
