Taxonomy (3) The genus Pararenosetella Lang, 1944 is a senior subjective synonym of Halectinosoma Vervoort, 1962. Initially proposed for the type and only originally included species, Ectinosoma erythrops Brady, 1880a (Lang 1944: 6), a further four species were included in the genus by Lang (1948: 255): Ectinosoma gracile Scott & Scott, 1896; E. longicorne Scott & Scott, 1896; E. tenuireme Scott & Scott, 1896; and E. leptoderma Klie, 1929. Chappuis (1954a: 38) described Pararenosetella meridionalis Chappuis, 1954a while Noodt (1955a: 87–89) added the new species Pararenosetella psammae Noodt, 1955a and transferred Ectinosoma oblongum Kunz, 1949 to the genus Pararenosetella. In two subsequent papers Noodt (1958: 58; 1964: 131) raised the number of species to ten by adding Pararenosetella litoralis Noodt, 1958 and P. ghardaqensis Noodt, 1964. Lang (1965: 10, 547) dissolved the genus, claiming there were two distinct, not closely related lineages of species in Pararenosetella, and reallocated the species to three previously described genera. Ectinosoma erythrops, E. gracile, E. longicorne, E. tenuireme and E. oblongum were transferred to the genus Halectinosoma, Pararenosetella litoralis and P. ghardaqensis to the genus Ectinosoma and Pararenosetella meridionalis, P. psammae and Ectinosoma leptoderma to the genus Hastigerella Nicholls, 1935. The species figured as Pararenosetella sp. (?) by Wells (1963: 12) was designated as the type and only species (under the new binomen Lineosoma iscensis Wells, 1965b, an incorrect original spelling of iscense) of the genus Lineosoma Wells, 1965b (Wells 1965b: 33). Despite Lang’s (1965) rejection of the genus, two more species were added to Pararenosetella, however both P. monniotae Guille & Soyer, 1966 and P. clavata Rao & Ganapati, 1969 were formally placed in the genus Hastigerella by Bodin (1967: 13) and Bodin (1976: 8), respectively. Since the type, Ectinosoma erythrops, is currently included in Halectinosoma, Pararenosetella is the only valid replacement name for the latter (ICZN Art. 23.3.5). Adopting this name would, however, cause

instability as it would upset a long-accepted name in its accustomed meaning.
The nomenclatural problems outlined above are currently being presented to the Commission, asking to
use its Plenary Power (a) to give the generic name Halectinosoma Vervoort, 1962 precedence over the generic name Pararenosetella Lang, 1944, whenever they are considered to be synonyms, and (b) to set aside all previous fixations of type species for Halectinosoma and to designate Ectinosoma chrystalii Scott, 1894a as the type species (Huys 2008a). Since prevailing usage of names is to be maintained until the ruling of the Commission is published (ICZN Art. 28.1), Halectinosoma sarsii is still listed as the type species in Table 4. [details]
