Recently 37 junior homonyms of trilobite genera have been found (Ozdikmen, 2006, 2009), of which 13 trilobite genera have been recorded in China. Young (Yang) proposed the generic name Honania as a genus of Reptilia, with the type species H. complicidentata Young, 1979 from Late Permian, Jiyuan, Henan Province. Unfortunately the generic name was already preoccupied by Lee in Lu et al., 1963, who had proposed the name Honania as a trilobite genus with Honania lata Lee as the type species. Thus the genus Honania Young, 1979 is a junior homonym of generic name Honania Lee in Lu et al., 1963. Therefore the authors propose herein a new replacement name Zhongjiania nom. nov. for Honania Young, 1979.
