The purpose of this application, under Articles 23.9.3 and 81.2.3 of the Code, is to conserve the generic name Heterolaophonte Lang, 1948 for a group of marine harpacticoid copepods (family Laophontidae) by giving it precedence over the unused senior names Mesolaophonte Nicholls, 1941 and Monolaophonte Nicholls, 1941 whenever these names are considered to be synonyms.
