<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> In order to ensure stability of nomenclature among species of <i>Gondolella</i>, lectotypes are selected from among the cotypes (syntypes in modern usage) proposed by Stauffer &amp;amp; Plummer (1932) for species that it is concluded were parts of the apparatuses of two species of that genus. It is recognized that many of their specimens actually represent growth stages of individual species, and many of the names used by Stauffer &amp;amp; Plummer are placed in

... onymy. Interpreted synonyms include not only gondolelli-form P₁ elements, but other parts of the apparatus, especially P₂ elements assigned to <i>Euprioniodina</i> by Stauffer &amp;amp; Plummer. Thus, <i>Gondolella bella</i> has synonyms as P₁ elements: <i>G. curvata</i>, <i>G. magna</i>, <i>G. minuta</i>, probably <i>G.</i> sp. A, S₁ element <i>Euprioniodina coronata</i> and P₂ elements: <i>E. exserta</i>, <i>E. eximia</i> and <i>E. intertexta</i>. In a similar manner, the type species of the genus, <i>Gondolella elegantula</i>, has synonyms <i>G. insolita</i>, <i>G. lanceolata</i> (P₁ elements), and probably <i>Euprioniodina</i> sp. B (P₂ element?).</p>
