Case 3837 – Trilobatus Spezzaferri, Kucera, Pearson, Wade, Rappo, Poole, Morard & Stalder, 2015 (Foraminifera, Globigerinidae): proposed conservation of the genus-group name by partial suppression of Trilobigerina Popescu, 1987

Abstract. The purpose of this application, under Articles 23.9.3 and 81.2.2 of the Code, is to conserve the usage of the genus-group name Trilobatus Spezzaferri, Kucera, Pearson, Wade, Rappo, Poole, Morard & Stalder, 2015 for a genus of planktonic foraminifera from the global ocean and fossil record by partial suppression of its senior objective synonym Trilobigerina Popescu, 1987. Partial suppression of the little-used senior name will allow conservation of the younger name that is in very widespread use.
