“Deidamia”
I note in Prof. Wyville Thomson’s extremely interesting papers the name Deidamia v. Willemoes-Suhm, used for a crutacean genus. This name must be changed, inasmuch as it is preoccupied in Articulata by Dr. Clemens in 1859. Dr. Clemens has used the title for a valid genus of North American Sphingidae. I propose, therefore, for the genus in Crustacea, the name Willemoesia, in honor of its discoverer, with the two species leptodactyla and crucifer, the former the type.
