Trichia Hartmann, 1840 is a junior homonym
of Trichia De Haan, 1839 [Crustacea] and therefore not
available for purposes of zoological nomenclature. The ICZN had to
exercise its plenary powers (ICZN, 2004) because there was a
petition to conserve Hartmann's name.
ICZN (International Commission for Zoological Nomenclature),
2004. OPINION 2079 (Case 2926) Trichia Hartmann, 1840 (Mollusca,
Gastropoda): proposed conservation; and Trichiinae Ložek, 1956 (Gastropoda):
proposed emendation of spelling to Trichiinae, so removing the
homonymy with Trichiinae Fleming, 1821 (Insecta, Coleoptera) not
approved. Bulletin of Zoological Nomenclature 61, Part 3. Sept. 30.
