Pediculariidae Gray, 1853 Rafinesque, 1815 #658

Open aoern opened 1 month ago

The title of this issue is created by combining the scientific name "Pediculariidae Gray, 1853" and the authorship "Rafinesque, 1815". The source of this invalid name is ITIS: https://www.itis.gov/servlet/SingleRpt/SingleRpt?search_topic=TSN&search_value=1206058

Dear Ari, nice catch!

Some taxa above species were added in CoL of May from ITIS by mistake through protocols of "merging". Markus already removed them towards June release.

However, your finding may help @mdoering in his work on Extended Catalogue. Curious, but might be not unique case with differently spelled authorstrings:

Glad I noticed your post, it's a major error that slipped through in a hierarchy update of the gastropods... Rafinesque authorship carried over from the name added just before it and was supposed to be over-written by the correct authorship of Gray... but that last step was missed, with the resulting name you see... We will have to render it as an artifact and add it correctly. Thanks for this!
