Talk:Gymnochanda

Dispute

• Boeseman (1957) flagged the genus and species as new. For the present time anyway, and for the sake of simplicity, I interpret Boeseman to have been incorrect that they were new. The alternative interpretation is set out below:

Name

• Gymnochanda Fraser-Brunner, 1955
  • Gender: [feminine]
  • Original status: valid genus
  • Type species: Gymnochanda filamentosa Fraser-Brunner, 1955
    • Fixation: original designation [see p. 210] [and monotypy]

Synonyms

• Gymnochanda Boeseman, 1957 [junior homonym of Gymnochanda Fraser-Brunner, 1955]
  • Gender: [feminine]
  • Original status: valid genus
  • Type species: Gymnochanda filamentosa Boeseman, 1957 [invalid synonym and junior secondary homonym in Gymnochanda Fraser-Brunner, 1955 of Gymnochanda filamentosa Fraser-Brunner, 1955]
    • Fixation: original designation [see p. 75] [and monotypy]
