Dr. Philippe Bouchet (Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle, Paris), kindly brought to our attention that the name Poultoniella Echevarría, Damborenea and Manceñido, Reference Echevarría, Damborenea and Manceñido2021 (p. 1), which we proposed for a genus of trigoniide bivalve (type species Poultoniella jaworskii Echevarría, Damborenea and Manceñido, 2021, published online on August 17th, 2021), was preoccupied by Poultoniella Cooper, Reference Choffat2021 (p. 157) (type species Trigonia newcombei Packard, Reference Packard1921, p. 30), also a trigoniide bivalve, which was published on May 28th, 2021 according to the information provided by Schweizerbart's web page for Neues Jahrbuch 300/2. Hence, in accordance with ICZN (1999, Arts. 60.1 and 60.3), for the junior homonym, we propose the replacement name Terrypoultoniella new name, once again, dedicated to Terence “Terry” P. Poulton, Canadian paleontologist and specialist on fossil Trigoniida. Currently assigned species thus become Terrypoultoniella jaworskii (Echevarría, Damborenea and Manceñido, Reference Echevarría, Damborenea and Manceñido2021) and Terrypoultoniella? malladae (Choffat, Reference Choffat1885).
