Extract

John K. Page, Chief of the Production Section of the Zoological Record has kindly informed us (personal commun., 16 November 1998) that the generic name Tetraloba Alvarez, Rong, and Boucot, 1998 (Brachiopoda: Athyridida) (Alvarez et al., 1998, p. 843) is preoccupied by an insect (Collembola) genus published by Lee, 1983. According to Article 60 of the ICZN rules, we here propose Quadriloba (from the Latin, quattuor, four and lobus, a rounded projection or protuberance) as replacement name for Tetraloba Alvarez, Rong, and Boucot, 1998, not Tetraloba Lee, 1983.
