Ijimalophus Van Soest & Hooper, 2020 View in CoL
Ijimalophus Van Soest & Hooper, 2020: 70 View in CoL .
The genus name was erected to remove homonymy of the genus Sericolophus Ijima, 1901 View in CoL ( Van Soest et al. 2020: case nr. 121), but it should perhaps have been named Hernandeziana Strand, 1932 because Reiswig & Zgraggen (1991: 70) proposed their synonymy. There are several uncertain aspects of this proposed synonymy, e.g. the holotype of the type species Sericolophus reflexus Ijima, 1901 View in CoL has not been identified as yet, while the holotype of the type species of Hernandeziana , i.e. Corythophora ijimae Ferrer Hernández, 1932: 99 , redescribed by Reiswig & Zgraggen (1991) consists only of a root plume, lacking essential spicule types. I will not take a decision here to revert Ijimalophus View in CoL to the synonymy of Hernandeziana , leaving this to future studies.
