ResumoIn 1976 we described a new genus of nephropid lobsters (Burukovsky & Averin, 1976: 296), which we named Bellator. However, as Prof. L. B. Holthuis was so kind to inform us, the above name was already proposed in 1897 by Jordan & Evermann (1896: 488) for a genus of fishes, and our generic name thus is pre occupied. Since the new genus of lobsters described by us is very close to lobsters of the genus Thymops Holthuis, 1975, we propose the name Thymopides as a replacement for the earlier but invalid name Bellator Burukovsky & Averin, 1976. The type species of the genus Thymopides is Bellator grobovi Burukovsky & Averin, 1976, as that species is the type species, by monotypy, of the genus Bellator Burukovsky & Averin, 1976. This species thus henceforth should be known as Thymopides grobovi (Burukovsky & Averin).
