Status Nom. nov. pro Macrodon "Lycett" [= Macrodon Buckman, 1845], non Schinz, 1822 [Pisces]. When he established Beushausenia, Cossmann indicated Cucullaea hirsonensis d'Archiac, 1843 as the type species; according to Arkell (1930, Geological Magazine, 67: 302), this is a misidentification, by d'Archiac, of Macrodon hirsonensis Morris & Lycett. Notwithstanding Cossmann's statement, under Art. 67.8, the type species of Beushausenia is the type species of Macrodon. Parallelodon is an earlier replacement name. [details]
