Abstract

The name for the brachyuran subfamily Dasygyiinae Holmes, 1900, recently recognised by Guinot Van Bakel (2020) in the majoid family Inachoididae Dana, 1851, cannot be used as it is a junior synonym of Collodinae Stimpson, 1871. The present note diagnoses a new name, Paradasygyiinae subfam. nov., for the monotypic genus Paradasygyius Garth, 1958.

Keywords: Crustacea, Inachoididae, Dasygyiinae, Dasygyius, Microrhynchus, Neorhynchus, Paradasygyius, nomenclature, type species, new subfamily.
