BRUNTON Department of Palaeontology, The Natural Histoiy Museum, Cromwell Road, London SW7 5BD David Campbell has brought to our attention (personal communica- tion 9 March 2000) that the generic name Neocrania Lee & Brunton, 1986 (Brachiopoda, Craniida) is preoccupied by an insect (Lepidop- tera) genus published by Davis, 1978. According to Article 60 of the ICZN rules, we here propose Novocrania (from the Latin, noviis. new, young, recent, and Crania, the name given by Retzius, 1781) as replacement name for Neocrania Lee & Brunton, 1986, non Neocrania Davis, 1978. As required for a replacement name, the type species remains Crania anomala Miiller, 1776, as in the pre- occupied original genus. REFERENCES Davis, 1978.
