G] [in Fauna Japonica, De Haan gave three different scientific names to the same species due to morphological differences between the two sexes; he gave scientific names independently to the male and female in the fourth fascicle published in 1837; later he noticed his mistake and gave them the replacement name, Maja (Huenia) proteus; however, the names Maja (Huenia) heraldica (for
) and Maja (huenia) elongata (for ) have two years priority over Maja (Huenia) proteus; the problem was settled by Holthuis who chose the scientific name of Huenia heraldica as the valid name, see Holthuis, L.B. 1987. Huenia heraldica, the correct name for Huenia proteus, and the name of the type species of the genus Huenia. Researches on Crustacea 16: 15–18]. Type data:
