Subject: Another Possible Problem with Naming Conventions for Panstem=
This one occurred to me during a discussion with Jaime Headden and Mi= ckey=20 Mortimer. Hypothetical situation: CLADOGRAM (requires monospaced font) --+--Alpha (extant) `--+--Beta (extinct) `--+--Gamma (extant) `--Delta (extant) Suppose someone names: _Betoidea_ =3D Clade(_Beta_ <- _Alpha_) Later, someone names a panstem/crown pair: _Gammadelta_ =3D Clade(_Gamma_ + _Delta_) _Pangammadelta_ =3D Clade(_Gammadelta_ <- extant non-gammadeltans= ) As can be seen, _Pangammadelta_ would be a junor heterodefinitional s= ynonym of _Betoidea_. The convention of having the total group starting with "P= an-" would be ruined, because the proper name for the clade (assuming the cladog= ram is ccorrect) is _Betoidea_. =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D> T.
