Abstract

Iolanthe Beddard, 1886a is shown to be a senior synonyn of Acanthaspidia Stebbing, 1893, the replacement name for the preoccupied Acanthoniscus Sars, 1879 (Isopoda: Asellota: Acanthaspidiidae). Ischnomesus kussakini nom. nov. is erected as a replacement name for Ischnomesus antarcticus (Kussakin, 1982), preoccupied in this combination (Isopoda: Asellota: Ischnomesidae).
