Abstract
A replacement name, Sogdianagonia nom. nov., is proposed for the megatrigoniid bivalve subgeneric name Turkestanella Tashiro, 1979, which is preoccupied by Turkestanella Klishevich, 1969, a genus name in Tentaculitida. In addition, Sogdianagonia nom. nov. is elevated from subgeneric to generic status.

Philippe Bouchet kindly shared his unpublished catalogue of mollusc genus-group names, produced together with Jean-Pierre Rocroi (both Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle, Paris, France), where the above-mentioned case of homonymy had also been recorded before we came across it. Martine Focke, Winfried Werner (both SNSB—Bayerische Staatssammlung für Geologie und Paläontologie, Munich, Germany) and Andreas Kroh (Natural History Museum, Vienna, Austria) assisted with literature and image scanning. Mike Reich (SNSB—Bayerische Staatssammlung für Geologie und Paläontologie, Munich, Germany) gave useful advice regarding the transliteration of Russian names.
