[request] basis of record Lovell, Lawrence L.; Fitzhugh, Kirk. (2020). Taking a closer look: an SEM review of <em>Levinsenia</em> species (Polychaeta: Paraonidae) reported from California. <em>Zootaxa.</em> 4751(2): 256-275., available online at https://www.biotaxa.org/Zootaxa/article/view/zootaxa.4751.2.3 page(s): 262; note: new records of Levinsenia kirbyae for Southern California (previously Andaman Sea), also an attempt to update the spelling, contrary to ICZN article 32.5.1 [details] Available for editors [request] From editor or global species database
Spelling Eighteen years after the species was named the authors Lovell & Fitzhugh (2020) change Levinsenia kirbyae to L kirbyorum on the basis that the species "was named in honor of three persons" not one. However, ICZN Article 32.5.1 excludes incorrect latinization as an inadvertent error (a non-author-related error during layout & printing) that must be corrected. The 1999 4th edition Code excluded an 3rd Code example that previously suggested a singular versus plural error in formulating a personal name used as a species name should be corrected. This change is not necessary. [details]
