Nomenclatorial note 
on a primary homonym in the genus Lecane 
(Lecanidae, Rot$era) 
Hendrik SEGERS (1) 
Some years ago, KOSTE (1972) described a new species of Lecane from fhe Amazon region, i.e. Lecane derid- 
deri. As fhe person fo whom fhis species was dedicafed is a woman, fhe original spelling of fhis name is incorrect 
according fo fhe International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (article 32[c]), and should be emended fo Lecane 
deridderae Kosfe, 1972. 
Recenfly, DE PAGGI (1989) confribufed fhe name Lecane (Monostyla) deridderae fo anofher species. Irrespecfive 
of fhe facf fhaf fhis species was placed in anofher subgenus of Lecane, if is a primary homonym of L. deridderae 
Kosfe 1972 (see article 52 [f] and 57 [dl), and a new name should be proposed in order fo replace fhe junior 
homonym. 
As we acknowledge fhe intention of DE PAGGI (1989) of honouring Dr. DE RIDDER, we propose fhe name Lecane 
(Monostyla) margarethae, derived from Dr. DE RIDDERS’ firsf name, as a nomen novum for fhe species.
