Taxonomy Ichnusella Cottarelli, 1971 (Family Leptopontiidae)
Cottarelli (1971: 58) established this genus for his new species Ichnusella eione Cottarelli, 1971 (type species by original designation) and Psammopsyllus pasquinii Cottarelli, 1969, overlooking that the generic name Ichnusella had already been introduced by Dieni and Massari (1966: 170) for a genus of fossil Foraminiferida. Since the Code applies to Metazoa and also to protistan taxa when workers treat them as animals for the purposes of nomenclature (ICZN Art. 1.1.1), Ichnusella Cottarelli, 1971 is a junior homonym of Ichnusella Dieni & Massari, 1966 (type species by original designation: Ichnusella trocholinaeformis Dieni & Massari, 1966), both being derived from the ancient name of Sardinia (Greek        ). A new replacement name, Bereraia nom. nov. (gender: feminine), is proposed, named after Dr Raffaella Berera (Università della Tuscia, Viterbo, Italy), in recognition of her valuable contributions to the knowledge of the genus (Berera & Cottarelli 2003; Berera et al. 2001; Cottarelli et al. 1998). The genus currently includes the following species: Psammopsyllus pasquinii Cottarelli, 1969 = Bereraia pasquinii (Cottarelli, 1969) comb. nov.; Ichnusella eione Cottarelli, 1971 = B. eione (Cottarelli, 1971) comb. nov. [type]; Ichnusella longifurca Cottarelli, Bruno & Berera, 1998 = B. longifurca (Cottarelli, Bruno & Berera, 1998) comb. nov.; Ichnusella tertia Cottarelli, Bruno & Berera, 1998 = B. tertia (Cottarelli, Bruno & Berera, 1998) comb. nov.; Ichnusella improvisa Berera, Cottarelli & Bruno, 2001 = B. improvisa (Berera, Cottarelli & Bruno, 2001) comb. nov.; and Ichnusella ionica Berera & Cottarelli, 2003 = B. ionica (Berera & Cottarelli, 2003) comb. nov.
