The purpose of this application, under Article 23.9.3 of the Code, is to conserve the generic name Haliplanella Hand, 1956 for a widespread sea anemone by suppressing the senior name Haliplanella Treadwell, 1943 that was first, through an error, used for a group of polychaete annelids, was later put into synonymy, and is now no longer used.
