There's no official significance to that, so you will have to look through the paper and try to figure out just what Davidson meant by that. Possibilities include that latissima had been listed in Cyclothyris by someone else, that he considered latissima typical of the sort of thing people had assigned to Cyclothyris, that he considered latissima the type of Cyclothyris, etc.

Hi all dear paleoneters!!!
I have a dude: Davidson (1855) included to Cyclothyris genus (a
cretaceous brachiopod) in
Rhynchonella sinonimy. He placed Rhynchonella latissima in brackets after
the generic name Cyclothyris. My dude is...what means to place a specific
name in brackets after a generic name?? Thanks
