Proposal of Allobaileyella gen. nov., Allobaileyella intestinalis comb. nov., Allolucifera gen. nov., Allolucifera butyrica comb. nov., Allomicrovenator gen. nov., Allomicrovenator marinus comb. nov. and Allomicrovenatoraceae fam. nov. as replacement names for Baileyella, Baileyella intestinalis, Lucifera, Lucifera butyrica, Microvenator, Microvenator marinus and Microvenatoraceae, respectively

TL;DR
This paper proposes new names for several prokaryotic genera and species to resolve naming conflicts with existing names in other scientific fields.
Contribution
The paper introduces replacement names for illegitimate prokaryotic genus and species names due to homonym conflicts.
Findings
Baileyella, Lucifera, and Microvenator are illegitimate names under the ICNP due to homonym conflicts.
New replacement names Allobaileyella, Allolucifera, and Allomicrovenator are proposed for the affected genera and species.
Abstract
The prokaryotic genus names Baileyella Wylensek et al. 2021, Lucifera Sánchez-Andrea et al. 2019, and Microvenator Wang et al. 2022 are illegitimate because they are later homonyms of Baileyella Özdikmen 2009 (a fossil member of the Gonyaulacaceae, Gonyaulacales, Dinophyceae), Lucifera Baker 2010 (Keroplaridae, Diptera) and Microvenator Ostrom 1970 (a fossil member of the Caetagnatidae, Saurichia, Reptilia), respectively [Principle 2 and Rule 51b(5) of the International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes (ICNP)]. We therefore propose the replacement names Allobaileyella gen. nov., Allobaileyella intestinalis comb. nov., Allolucifera gen. nov., Allolucifera butyrica comb. nov., Allomicrovenator gen. nov., Allomicrovenator marinus comb. nov. and Allomicrovenatoraceae fam. nov.
