Subject: Re: reply to David M on species
Yes, but I guess that the decision whether your specimens belongs to a described species or not is yours, especially if you're working on fossil fragments. Strictly (very) speaking, only types unequivocally belongs to species, and even for those I believe you could use them as specifiers without having to make species statements. So I would interpret 11.1-5 such that you actually can name clades without making reference to species./Fredrik __________________________________________________________ Fredrik Pleijel Biologie des Invert=E9br=E9s marins, Mus=E9um national d'Histoire naturelle 57, rue Cuvier 75231 Paris cedex 05 tel: 33(0)1 40 79 31 12 fax: 33(0)1 40 79 31 09 http://www.mnhn.fr/mnhn/bimm/pleijel.htm __________________________________________________________
