(Here we can add examples of names at all levels, from all the kingdoms, so that we can try and place them into the proposed schemas and see how workable the proposals are ...

Botanical Name Examples

My examples taken from IPNI, please add names from your relevant areas. I have included where I can any additional information (basionym, original or current family placement) which may help us discussing which parts go into LC and which into TCS. (Note that IPNI didn't always retain the authors family placement. So I have said 'according to IPNI' if I don't know in whose sense the family placement has been given).

Note: Napier is going to attempt to represent some of these in TCS (using the old ABCD Name Elements) to try and identify which of these nomenclatural relationships cannot be captured easily: see the page LinneanCoreTcsNameExamples.

Fungi

A few 'unusual' nomenclatural acts to mull over: 1 Opegrapha endoleuca Nyl., (1855)
Replaced synonym: Opegrapha enteroleuca Fée, 1827; Competing synonym: non Opegrapha enteroleuca Ach., 1814. This is a basic nom. nov. to replace a homonym (IF ref). 2 Cortinarius luteobrunneus Peintner & M.M. Moser, Mycotaxon 81: 180 (2002)
Replaced synonym: Thaxterogaster leoninus E. Horak, 1973; Competing synonym: non Cortinarius leoninus (Velen.) G. Garnier, 1991. A basic nom. nov. to prevent creation of a homonym (IF ref). 3 Nectria mauritiicola (Henn.) Seifert & Samuels, in Seifert, Stud. Mycol. 27: 160 (1985)
Basionym: Corallomyces mauritiicola Henn., 1904; Unavailable basionym and competing synonym: Corallomyces elegans Berk. & M.A. Curtis, 1853 non Nectria elegans Y. Yamam. & Maeda, 1957; Anamorph: Rhizostilbella hibisci (Pat.) Seifert 1985. A combination using a later synonym because the one which has priority cannot be used because the combination would create a homonym (IF ref). 4 Entoloma amplifolium Hesler, (1967)
Replaced synonym: Pleuropus entoloma Murrill, 1945; Competing synonym: Entoloma entoloma; ("tautonym prevention"). A nom. nov. to prevent a tautonym (note GH: tautonyms like "Bufo bufo" are ok in Zoology, but not in Botany). (IF ref). 5 Ceriomyces albus var. richonii Sacc., (1888)
Replaced synonym: Ptychogaster albus Richon; Competing synonym: Ceriomyces albus var. albus; ("autonym creation prevention"). A nom. nov. to prevent creation of a homotypic autonym (IF ref).

Examples contributed by Richard Pyle 2005-04-27

ICZN (fishes)

Linnaeus (1758) established the genus "Gobius" on p. 262. He included these new species in this genus: G. anguillaris (p.264) G. aphya (p.263) G. eleotris (p. 263) G. jozo (p. 263) G. niger (p. 262) G. paganellus (p. 263) G. pectinirostris (p. 264)

Linnaeus (1766) added this species to his genus "Gobius": G. barbarus (p.450)

The type species of this genus was subsequently designated as Gobius niger Linnaeus 1758:262 by Gill (1863:268). This genus has been placed on the ICZN "Official List" (Opinion 77, Direction 56).

Gmelin (1789) added these new species in the genus Gobius Linnaeus: G. arabicus (p. 1198) G. bicolor (p. 1197) G. cruentatus (p. 1197) G. gronovii (p. 1205) G. melanuros (p. 1201) G. pisonis (p. 1206)

Gronow (1763) used the genus name "Eleotris". However, this work has been rejected by the ICZN, and thus this name has been placed on the ICZN "Official Index" (Direction 56).

Bloch & Schneider (1801) used Gronow's name "Eleotris" on p. 65. They described these new species in this genus: E. lanceolata (p. 67) E. mauritii (p. 66) They included Gobius pisonis Gmelin 1789 among the species in this genus. Because Gronow's name has been rejected, Bloch & Shneider are considered the authors of this genus name. In Opinion 93, Direction 56, ICZN used its plenary powers to establish Gobius pisonis Gmelin 1789 as the type species of this genus.

Rüppell (1830) established the new genus "Asterropterix" on p. 138. In the same publication (same page), he also described the new species, "Asterropterix semipunctatus". Because this was the only species Rüppell included in his new genus, this species is established as the type species of the genus (monotypy). In the same publication, he included an illustration of a specimen that now bears the catalog number SMF 1691, and is the Holotype of his new species A. semipunctatus. In the caption for that figure, Rüppell spelled the name "Asterropteryx semipunctatus" ("-yx" for the genus, instead of "-ix" for the genus).

Rüppell (1835) listed the same genus and species, but consistently spelled the genus "Asterropteryx". In doing so, by ICZN rules he serves as the "first reviser", and thereby establishes the "-yx" spelling of the genus as the "correct original spelling". We can only assume that Rüppell's 1935 concept circumscription of the species is congruent to his 1830 concept circumscription. Because the genus is monotypic in both publications, we can also assume congruency between the two genus concept circumscriptions.

Bleeker (1855) described these new species within the genus Eleotris Bl. & Sch. (although Bleeker attributed the genus to Gronow): E. cyanostigma (p. 452) E. heteropterus (p. 422)

Bleeker (1874a) established the new genus Brachyeleotris (p. 306). He designated Eleotris cyanostigma Bleeker (1855) as the type species.

Bleeker (1874b) described the new species ensifera (p. 375), and included it within his genus Brachyeleotris.

Snyder (1904) placed the species Eleotris cyanostigma Bleeker (1855) within the genus "Asterropterix" (incorrect spelling).

Whitley (1932) described the new subspecies, "Asterropterix semipunctatus quisqualis" (incorrect spelling of genus).

Dor (1984) regarded Eleotris cyanostigma Bleeker (1855) to be a junior synonym of Asterropteryx semipunctatus Rüppell (1830). In doing so, he (by definition) also considered the genus Brachyeleotris Bleeker (1874a) to be a junior synonym of Asterropteryx Rüppell (1830).

Randall et al. (1997) placed Brachyeleotris ensifera Bleeker (1874b) in the genus "Asterropteryx" (correct spelling), and spelled the species epithet "ensiferus".

Privitera (2001) published on the reproductive biology of Asterropteryx semipunctatus Rüppell, but pointed out that the genus "Asterropteryx" is feminine, and thus spelled A. semipunctatus as "Asterropteryx semipunctata".

Nakabo (2002) also recognized the feminine gender of Asterropteryx, and followed Dor in placing Brachyeleotris ensifera Bleeker (1874b) in Asterropteryx, and thus spelled it "Asterropteryx ensifera".

Allen & Adrim (2003) also placed Brachyeleotris ensifera Bleeker (1874b) in the genus Asterropteryx, but spelled the species epithet "ensifer".

Randall et al. (2004) used the spelling "Asterropteryx ensiferus".

Greenfield & Randall (2004) mistakenly used the spelling "Asterropterix semipunctatus" in their treatment of that species.
