This just in...
I'm reading through the archives. In February 2001 there was a =3D
discussion on how, if at all, species names could have a format under=
=3D
PhyloCode that would allow them to be valid under the preexisting cod=
es, =3D
so that new species needn't be published twice, once for each code. L=
ike =3D
practically all other discussions on this list it quickly fell asleep=
. =3D
Even though possible solutions had already emerged by that time...
One is the following:
"Systematic paleontology
Theropoda Marsh 1881
Avialae Gauthier 1986
Ornithurae Chiappe 1991
Apsaravis ukhaana new taxon"
(1)
"SYSTEMATIC PALEONTOLOGY
THEROPODA Marsh, 1881
ABELISAURIA Novas, 1992
ABELISAUROIDEA Novas, 1989
ABELISAURIDAE Bonaparte and Novas, 1985
CARNOTAURINAE Sereno, 1998
CARNOTAURINI new taxon
Phylogenetic definition [...]
Diagnosis [...]
Aucasaurus garridoi new taxon"
(2)
No gen. nov., no sp. nov., totally free of illusions what a single =
=3D
fossil can represent. I really like that approach. It is still a =
=3D
binomial to look like a Linnaean species name, though, so probably it=
's =3D
valid under the ICZN (so far I haven't found anyone who treats such =
=3D
names as invalid). If so, though, here the second possible solution..=
.
"Taxonomy
Theropod Marsh, 1881
a.. Coelurosauria Huene, 1914
b.. Maniraptora Gauthier, 1986
c.. Epidendrosaurus ningchengensis gen. et sp. nov."
(3)
No extra gen. nov.. Phylocoders can ignore the "gen. et" and have a =
=3D
species name under, say, method A; under method M... maybe the "genus=
" =3D
part could be ignored and regarded as an invalid clade address.
Is that food for thought? :-)
