Euconnus penangianus Franz

Euconnus (Napochus) penangianus Franz, 1975: 59 , fig. 6.

Euconnus (Napoconnus) malaiapenangianus nomen nov. for Euconnus (Napoconnus) penangianus Franz, 1975: 67 , fig. 12.

Etymology. The new name was formed by combining the country ( Malaysia) and state (Penang) names.

Euconnus penangpaeninsularis nomen nov. for Euconnus penangianus Franz, 1992: 75 , fig. 9; preoccupied by a pair of homonyms (sic!): Euconnus (Napochus) penangianus Franz, 1975: 59 , fig. 6; and Euconnus (Napoconnus) penangianus Franz, 1975: 67 , fig. 12.

Etymology. The new name was formed by combining the state name Penang with Latin paeninsula.

Remarks. Species bearing the name Euconnus penangianus were described by Franz three times, all from Malaysia. First, Franz described E. (Napochus) penangianus and E. (Napoconnus) penangianus on pages 59 and 67 of his 1975 paper, creating a pair of primary homonyms. The name from the page 59 is arbitrary selected here as the senior subjective homonym. Later, Franz described another E. penangianus (and treated this species as incertae sedis within Euconnus ) ( Franz 1992), and this name is a junior objective homonym.
