Whoa, whoa - it most certainly *does*. I've named new genera, I know the
rules...the only place generic homonymy doesn't apply is across *kingdoms*.
You can have a plant and an animal with the same genus, but not two
animals. Oddly enough, non-generic names *can* be possessed at different
levels; for instance, there are genera of molluscs named "Collembola" and
"Ephemeroptera". No problems with those, amazingly.
