| Memo: | Hemming (1967) stated:- Kirby introduced the name Pseudonica as a replacement for Nica Hübner, [1826], which he rejected on the ground that it was invalid as being a junior homonym of Nika Risso, 1816 (Hist. nat. Crust. : 84). The question of the criteria to be adopted for determining whether any two generic names were homonyms of one another was a matter of doubt, both when Kirby published this replacement, which was more than thirty years before the International Code of Berlin (1901), and also after the promulgation of that Code, until its revision by the London Congress in 1958. In the revised Code now in force it is provided (Article 56 (a)) that any two generic names are not to be treated as homonyms of one another if they differ in spelling by a single letter. In consequence, (a) Nica Hübner and Nika Risso are not homonyms of one another, (b) Nica is not invalid under the Law of Homonymy, and (c) being, an available name is not in need of replacement. Accordingly, the replacement name Pseudonica Kirby is invalid, as a junior objective synonym of Nica Hübner. Cowan (1970: 54) stated:- "more than 30 years before to read - in the year of". The higher classification used here follows Lamas (2008). |
