Considering the fact that Article 10 is being rewritten, I might have= to retract the following... but so far it sounds ingenious to me. ----- Original Message ----- =46rom: <jonathan.r.wagner@mail.utexas.edu> Sent: Thursday, September 16, 2004 8:08 PM > X.5 Autonyms do not compete with non-autonymous names for priority.

(Should be replaced with genuine examples once the contents of the co= mpanion volume will be fixed. Or alternatively, it should be marked in the Co= de which examples are genuine and which are hypothetical. The ICZN conta= ins a disclaimer near the beginning which say that its examples are not par= t of the Code, because each of them could be wrong.) > X.8 Autonymous affices are registered under the PhyloCode in a data= base distinct > from the clade name database. Or entries in the database will just be marked "affix", "clade name", "species name" or whatever. I have one question. Assuming Example X.5 were genuine, *Corono-Dinos= auria* and *Corono-Theropoda* would be synonyms. Would they just be treated = like heterodefinitional synonyms would be treated, means, whichever of *Dinosauria* and *Theropoda* would have priority would be eligible fo= r use with the prefix?
