Taxonomic remark S. robusta Coughtrey, 1876, its binomen is a permanently invalid junior primary homonym of S. gayi
var. robusta Allman, 1874a (ICZN 1999, Art. 57.2), originally described from the Faroe-Shetland Trough in the
North Atlantic Ocean. It is nomenclaturally inconsequential that Allman’s name was introduced as a variety (ICZN
1999, Art. 45.6.4). Moreover, Reversal of Precedence provisions cannot be applied (ICZN 1999, Art. 23.9.1.1) to
validate the junior homonym as a nomen protectum because its senior homonym has been used as a valid name
after 1899, including in certain recent works (e.g., Nutting 1904: 79; Billard 1906a: 331; 1906b: 185; Bedot 1925:
370; Vervoort 1972: 118; Ramil & Vervoort 1992: 223; Calder & Vervoort 1998: 39, with a synonymy list; Henry
et al. 2008: 794; Gil & Ramil 2017: 428). The junior homonym S. robusta Coughtrey, 1876 is replaced by the
binomen S. quasiplana Trebilcock, 1928, originally described as S. robusta var. quasiplana Trebilcock, 1928. The
name of that variety qualifies as a replacement (ICZN 1999, Art. 60.2) in being considered a synonym of S. robusta
by Vervoort & Watson (2003). [details]
