Extract

In a letter dated April 29, 1988, Helen and Alfred R. Loeblich, Jr. kindly brought to my attention the fact that the newly proposed generic name Cribrella Gawor-Biedowa, 1987, is preoccupied by Cribrella Agassiz, 1836, by Cribrella Schmidt, 1862, and by Cribrella Cossman, 1906, hence requires a new name. Cribrella Gawor-Biedowa, 1987, type species Cribrella lacrima Gawor-Biedowa, 1987, thus is renamed here as Cribrebella Gawor-Biedowa, nom. nov.
