Under the plenary power the Commission has conserved the specific name of the widely cited fossil brachiopod Anathyris monstrum Khalfin, 1933 by ruling that the two unused ‘varietal’ names, which together ambiguously comprised the species, are unavailable from their original descriptions in Khalfin (1933). In addition, the Commission has confirmed the conditionally proposed lectotype designation for Anathyris monstrum.
