Karstarma Davie & Ng, 2007

Remarks. There is a problem with the spelling of the name of this genus. In the text of the original description, Davie & Ng (2007) spelled the name “ Karstarma ” five times but as “ Karstama ” nine times; with the latter spelling used consistently in Ng et al. (2008). In the original paper, however, Davie & Ng (2007) made it clear that the new name was derived from the word “karst” in combination with “ Sesarma ”. They also spelt it as “ Karstarma ” when the name was first used ( Davie & Ng 2007: 229). As such, despite the more frequent use of “ Karstama ”, this must be regarded as an erroneous spelling and the correct spelling for the genus must be “ Karstarma . ” This action is to be considered under ICZN (1999) Article 24.2.2 (see also Husana et al. in press).
