Taxonomic remark Kretzoi & Kretzoi, 2000 considered that Galea Meyen, 1833 was preoccupied by Galea Meuschen, 1787 (Echinodermata) and proposed the replacement name Galecavia, however most current workers treat names from Meuschen's 1787 publication as unavailable and thus Galea Meyen, 1833 remains in current use in Mammalia. 2 other earlier usages (both in Echinodermata) also require consideration: Galea Cuvier, 1817 ("ex Klein") is mentioned only in synonymy and is thus unavailable, while Galea Smith, 1817, currently a synonym of Echinocorys, appears to be available and should probably be declared a nomen oblitum (as an unused senior homonym of Galea Meyen). The exact year of publication of this name remains to be further researched, being given as 1833 in Neave and in McKenna & Bell (plus some other sources), but 1832 in Wilson & Reeder, 2005. [details]
