Cranopsis


The Latin word Cranopsis has been used to name animal genera of frogs, mollusks and branchiopods. Cranopsis, was used for an anuran, and is a junior homonym of Cranopsis, for a mollusk; and Cranopsis, for a branchiopod. Cranopsis currently describes a mollusk genus in the family Fissurellidae.
The name was very briefly resurrected for a subgroup of toads by Frost et al.. However, Frost et al. noted that this was a mistake, because Cranopsis was preoccupied, and they proposed Ollotis as a replacement. Unfortunately, Ollotis is a subjective junior synonym of Incilius.
