| Abstract: | The purpose of this application, under Article 23.9.3 of the Code, is to conserve the universally accepted name Coprinisphaera Sauer, 1955 for an ichnogenus attributed to dung-beetle brood balls (ichnofamily COPRINISPHAERIDAE). This name is threatened by a rarely used senior subjective synonym Fontanai Roselli, 1939. It is proposed that the name Coprinisphaera is conserved by suppression of Fontanai. |
