Abstract
It has been brought to my attention by Mrs Joan Thorne of the Zoological Record that the ichnogenus Exallopus , proposed by Harris et al. (1996) for new four-toed theropod footprints, is preoccupied by the polychaete Exallopus Jumars 1974 (Fauchauld, 1977). To avoid homonymy, I therefore propose the replacement Saurexallopus (meaning `reptile different foot') for the ichnogenus, type species Saurexallopus lovei, as diagnosed in Harris et al. (1996, pp. 390-393).
