Discussion.
Cancellaria inermis
Pusch, 1837
was selected as
type
species of the genus
Inermia
by
Korobkov (1955)
—a genus name that was already preoccupied for the fish genus
Inermia
Poey, 1860. This lapsus was recognised by
Petit and Harasewych (2005)
without designating a replacement name. Therefore, in honour of Richard E. Petit, we propose
Petitina
as new genus name for the preoccupied
Inermia
.
