Brachiosvalbardia toulai ( Dunbar, 1955) comb. nov. = Svalbardia toulai ( Dunbar, 1955) = Tornquistia toulai ( Dunbar, 1955) = Paeckelmannia toulai Dunbar, 1955: 69 , pl. 3, figs. 1-8

III.

Boucot et al. (1964: 814) erected the brachiopod new genus Leptospira with the type species Trematospira costata Hall, 1859: 27 from the Devonian of North America. The name is still accepted ( IRMNG, 2021).

However, Swainson (1840: 335) used the same name for a genus of mollusc, currently considered a subjective synonym of Macroceramus Guilding, 1828: 168 (MolluscaBase, 2021) . Leptospira Swainson has the priority and makes Leptospira Boucot, Johnson and Staton an invalid name. Since the latter does not have available synonyms, it needs to be replaced (ICZN, 1999, Arts. 60.1, 60.2). We propose Rhyncholeptospira Ceccolini & Cianferoni nom. nov.

Etymology. The new name refers to the class to which the genus is assigned, adding the prefix Rhyncho- (the first part of the word Rhynchonellata) to the original name. Feminine gender.

IV.

Lenz (1968: 180) created the Lower Devonian new brachiopod genus Ogilviella ; the name is still accepted ( Baranov, 2015; IRMNG, 2021). The name can no longer be used because Paramonov (1954: 26) established the genus Ogilviella in the Diptera Bombyliidae ; although this latter name is considered a subjective synonym of Heteralonia Rondani, 1863: 57 ( GBIF, 2021) , it retains priority according to the rules of zoological nomenclature and Ogilviella Lenz is an invalid name. Since no synonyms of Ogilviella Lenz are available, a new replacement name for it is needed (ICZN, 1999, Arts. 60.1, 60.2). We propose Rhynchogilviella Ceccolini & Cianferoni nom. nov.

Etymology. The new name refers to the class to which the genus is assigned, adding the prefix Rhynch- (the first part of the word Rhynchonellata) to the original name. Feminine gender.
