Re: Unavailable species (most published in aqua, International Journal of Ichthyology)
Thanks Balaji, I will fix it once I have that list. What's the procedure here for these names, can the papers be deposited in ZooBank at a later date then it all gets sorted or are they sunk forever? For descriptions that are published only in digital form, the nomenclatural act must be registered ...

Re: Unavailable species (most published in aqua, International Journal of Ichthyology)
@Silurus, would it be prudent to remove these from the Catelog? I can add, but I cannot subtract. Only Jools can do that. Aqua is not the only offending journal.The original description of Glyptothorax chavomensis was published in an electronic-only journal (apparently...we are still trying to get ...

Re: Two new species of Pariolius, and new genus
It's not only the species names that are nomina nuda. The new genus name remains a nomen nudum until published in a Code-compliant way.

Re: Two new species of Pariolius, and new genus
Anything named in a dissertation is not an available name, according to the Code. I think it’s poor form for Planet to be propagating nomina nuda.
