Bulletin of Zoological Nomenclature 105 PROPOSED USE OF THE PLENARY POWERS FOR THE SUPPRESSION OF THE NAMES PROPOSED BETWEEN 1814 AND 1820 BY C. S. RAFINESQUE FOR TWO GENERA AND FOUR SPECIES BELONGING TO THE ORDER AMPHIPODA (CLASS CRUSTACEA), AND MATTERS CONNECTED THEREWITH. Z.N.(S.) 1879 By E. L. Bousfieid (National Museum of Natural Sciences, Ottawa, Canada) and L. B. Holthuis (Rijksmuseum ran Natuurlijke Historic, Leiden, The Netherlands) In Opinion 522 (1958, Opin. Decl. Int. Comm. zool. Nomencl. 19(9) : 209-248) the majority of the names proposed by C. S. Rafinesque for new genera and species of Decapod and Stomatopod Crustacea have been suppressed, since the adoption of these names would have caused a great confusion in carcinological nomenclature. In the present application a similar action regarding Rafinesque's Amphipod names is requested. 2. The references to the names of the genera dealt with in the present paper are the following: Crangonyx Bale, 1859, Nat. Hist. Rev. Dublin 6 (Proc. Dublin zool. bot. Ass., Feb. 18, 1859) : 165 (masculine). Type-species, by monotypy: Crangonyx subterraneus Bate, 1859, Nat. Hist. Rev. Dublin 6 (Proc. Dublin zool. bot. Ass., Feb. 18, 1859) : 165.

Proposed use of the plenary powers for the suppression of the names proposed between 1814 and 1820 by C. S. Rafinesque for two genera and four species belonging to the order Amphipoda (class Crustacea), and matters connected therewith. Z.N.(S.) 1879
