OPINION 14 



Names of Bacterial Genera to be Rejected as later 

 Homonyms of Names of Genera of Protozoa 



Becker (1951) listed the generic homonyms in bacteriology and proto- 

 zoology. He found that ten bacterial generic names proposed (one 

 of them, Astasia, independently for two different bacterial genera) 

 are later homonyms of names of protozoan genera. He suggested that 

 these bacterial generic names should be rejected in bacteriology. The 

 Editorial Board (1953) proposed that these names be considered by 

 the Judicial Commission for possible inclusion in the list of names 

 of bacterial genera to be rejected. The proposal has been considered 

 by the Judicial Cominission and the following Opinion approved. 



Opinion 14. 



The following names proposed for bacterial genera are found to be later 

 homonyms of names applied to genera of protozoa. Rule 24 of the Inter- 

 national Code of Nomenclature of Bacteria and Viruses states that such later 

 homonyms are illegitimate in bacteriology. These names are to be placed in 

 the list of names of bacterial genera to be rejected (nomino generum bac- 

 teriorum rejicienda).
