Abstract

The replacement name Kapu is provided for the Australian beefly genus Kapua Lambkin & Yeates (Bombyliidae : Anthracinae : Exoprosopini). Kapua Lambkin & Yeates is a junior homonym of the molluscan fossil Kapua Marwick (Gastropoda : Sorbeoconcha : Janthinoidea : Epitoniidae).


Acknowledgments

We are grateful to Stephen Gaimari, California Department of Food & Agriculture, Sacramento, for alerting us to the existence of the senior homonym that he found while searching the online Nomenclator Zoologicus (http://uio.mbl.edu/NomenclatorZoologicus, verified January 2006) developed with the permission of the Zoological Society of London at the MBLWHOI Library by uBio with the support of GBIF and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
