Comments. The nomen Trinella was proposed by Goodnight & Goodnight (1947) for some Neotropical harvestmen now in the family Agoristenidae Šilhavý, 1973. It is the largest genus in the subfamily Leiosteninae Šilhavý, 1973. It includes 33 species and is currently regarded as a valid taxon (e.g., Pinto-da-Rocha 1996; Kury 1997, 2003; Villarreal-M. & Rodríguez-Manzanilla 2003). According to Neave (1940), the generic nomen Trinella Goodnight & Goodnight 1947 is preoccupied by Trinella Bory de Saint Vincent, 1827 (Protista: Ciliophora) (invalid senior subjective synonym of Tetrahymena Furgason, 1940, according to a decision of ICZN, 1970) and Trinella Gray, 1870 (Coelenterata: Parisididae) (subjective synonym of Parisis Verrill, 1864, according to Kükenthal 1924).
The nomen Trinella Goodnight & Goodnight 1947 has four junior subjective synonyms. Avima, as the oldest nomen (by only 2 months), has precedence and should be used. The following combinations should now be used:
