Abstract

The validity of the turtle barnacle genus Chelolepas has been challenged on the grounds that the publication in which the genus was formally described does not meet the requirements of a published work under the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature. The present note informs that Chelolepas is a valid name that satisfies the provisions of the Code and that Tubicinella cheloniae is a synonym of Chelolepas cheloniae.
