Remarks.
Ehrenberg (1854b)
described only one species of
Lophophaena
:
Lophophaena Galea Orci
[sic]. Thus, it appears that “
orci
” is not a subspecies of
Lophophaena galea
; rather, it is part of a compound name. Ehrenberg named the species after the ship that led to its discovery, the “Brig Delphin,” which roughly translates to “
Galea Orci
”. Because it was intended as a single species name rather than a subspecies, the name must be corrected to
galeaorci
according to ICZN Article 32.5.2.2. In 1862, Haeckel followed Ehrenberg’s original name, but put “
galea
”
in lower case. Later,
Haeckel (1887)
dropped the “
orci
” from Ehrenberg’s species, referring to it simply as
Lophophaena galea
Ehrenberg
, subgenus
Lophophaenula
.
Haeckel (1887)
considered
Lophophaena galeaorci
Ehrenberg, 1854b
and
Lophophaena apiculata
Ehrenberg 1874
to be junior synonyms of
Lophophaena galea
Ehrenberg. However
, he did not provide a justification for the name change or the synonymy, and not all subsequent authors have not adopted it.
Petrushevskaya (1971)
, also considered
L. apiculata
Ehrenberg, 1874
to be a junior synonym of
L. galea orci
[sic]
Ehrenberg, 1854b
. Here we follow the precedent of
Haeckel (1887)
and
Petrushevskaya (1971)
by adopting their synonymy, but we correct the species name to
galeaorci
.
