_Corono-_ is meant as a suggestion to use for the most inclusive crow=
n clade
within *any* clade that is not a crown or a heterodefinitional synony=
m of a
crown, as I read it. Thus, for example, _Corono-Synapsida_,
_Corono-Therapsida_, and _Corono-Cynodontia_ would all be in competit=
ion (and
synonymous with the "paranym" -- there has to be a better word for th=
at --
_Mammalia_). Because _Corono-_ is stated to prefer the most inclusive=
 clade,
_Corono-Synapsida_ would have precedence over the other two.
