Dear all, especially the experts on nomenclature problems
Please help me to solve one puzzle. I have an idea, but I am not sure that I’m right. I have noticed this problem just a couple days ago.
In the December of 1972 P.Knight-Jones & Walker (Spirorbinae (Serpulidae, Polychaeta) on limpets from the South Orkney Islands. - Bull. Br. Antarct. Surv., 31: 33-40.) described a new species Protolaeospira ( Dextralia) stalamia n.sp. Diagnosis of subgenera was given, of the type species as well, but there was no indication that it is new subgenus, athough it was the first mentioning of the subgenus. P.Knight-Jones& Walker (1972) indicated P. Knight-Jones 1972b (Spirorbinae (Serpilidae: Polychaeta) from south-eastern Australia. A new genus, four new subgenera and seven new species. - Bull. Br. Mus. Nat. Hist. (Zool.). 24(4): 231-259.) as the author of this subgenus .I.e. they described a new species as belonging to a genera which already described. However, the paper above was actually only published in March of 1973 and P. Knight-Jones indeed established a new subgenus Dextralia inside Protolaeospira in that paper.
So now I’m at loss how correctly indicate the authors and dates of description for both subgenus Dextralia and species Protolaeospira ( Dextralia) stalamia .
As I found in the ICZN, new taxon name published after 1999 must have an indication that it is a new taxon (sp.n, gen. nov. etc) but it was not required for publications before 1999.
In your opinion, is it correct to write
Subgenus Dextralia 1972 Knight-Jones P in Knight-Jones P, Walker 1972
and
Protolaeospira ( Dextralia ) stalagmia Knight-Jones P, Walker 1972
mentioning of Knight-Jones P., 1973 only in remarks (explanation)?
Pdfs of of both papers are attached.
PS. I’m need it for preparing 4-th part of the our serial with Ippolitov about spirorbin tubes ultrasucteres and some other things.
Sincerely youth
