In (2014), a new species, Acanthocythereis reticulata, was described from the Upper Pliocene sediments of NE Sicily and belonging to the Family Trachyleberididae , 1948. Nonetheless, the new species name is preoccupied by A. reticulata , 1978, described from the Danian of Alabama (p. 553, Pl. 5, figs. 5-7). According to the Code of Zoological Nomenclature it is necessary to replace the name of the junior homonym. Therefore, I propose a new name for the species from Capo Milazzo.

Derivatio nominis – In honour of the late Dr. Jean-Paul (1948-2013) for his passionate work on ostracods ( et al., 2013).
I am grateful to Prof. Eugen Karl for advising me about the preoccupied name.
