Extract

In revising the subgenus Mclearnia Crickmay (1930), Kelly, Dhondt and Zakharov (1984) recommended that the spelling of the subgenus and species should be emended to Maclearnia maclearni. The latter authors had followed Recommendation III 21(a) of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (Stoll, 1964, p. 109), but this recommendation should be followed only in the formation of new names and not in revision of old names. Thus the emended name Maclearnia maclearni is unjustified and falls into the category of Article 33(ii) of the Code (Stoll, 1964, p. 37), becoming automatically a junior objective synonym of Mclearnia mclearni. The full revised name thus becomes Camptonectes (Mclearnia) mclearni (Crickmay, 1930).
