Case 2910. Cubaris murina Brandt, 1833 (Crustacea, Isopoda): proposed conservation of both the generic and specific names

The purpose of this application is to conserve the generic and specific names of the pantropical conglobating isopod Cubaris murina Brandt, 1833. The generic name is threatened by the senior homonym Cubaris Billberg, 1820, whilst the specific name is threatened by the senior subjective synonym Armadillo galbineus Eschschlotz, 1823. Cubaris Billberg is a junior objective synonym of Asellus Geoffroy, 1762, which was conserved in Opinion 1754 (March 1994). Both Cubaris Billberg and A. galbineus have remained unused and their suppression is proposed. It is also proposed that the unused specific name of Cubaris brunnea Brandt, 1833 be suppressed.
