OFFICIAL LISTS AND INDEXES OF NAMES AND WORKS IN ZOOLOGY Supplement 1986-2000 Edited by J. D. D. SMITH Copyright International Trust for Zoological Nomenclature 2001 ISBN 0 85301 007 2 Published by The International Trust for Zoological Nomenclature c/o The Natural History Museum Cromwell Road London SW7 5BD U.K. on behalf of lICZtN] The International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature 2001 STATUS OF ENTRIES ON OFFICIAL LISTS AND INDEXES OFFICIAL LISTS The status of names, nomenclatural acts and works entered in an Official List is regulated by Article 80.6 of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature. All names on Official Lists are available and they may be used as valid, subject to the provisions of the Code and to any conditions recorded in the relevant entries on the Official List or in the rulings recorded in the Opinions or Directions which relate to those entries. However, if a name on an Official List is given a different status by an adopted Part of the List of Available Names in Zoology the status in the latter is to be taken as correct (Article 80.8). A name or nomenclatural act occurring in a work entered in the Official List of Works Approved as Available for Zoological Nomenclature is subject to the provisions of the Code, and to any limitations which may have been imposed by the Commission on the use of that work in zoological nomenclature. OFFICIAL INDEXES The status of names, nomenclatural acts and works entered in an Official Index is regulated by Article 80.7 of the Code. Names entered in an Official Index may or may not be available, as determined by the relevant entries and by the rulings in the Opinions or Directions relating to those entries. Names entered in an Official Index cannot be used as valid, unless this is permitted by a ruling of the Commission or in the case of junior homonyms or junior objective synonyms by the rejection of the relevant senior names under the provisions of the Code. No name or nomenclatural act occurring in a work entered in the Official Index of Rejected and Invalid Works in Zoological Nomenclature has any availability or validity in zoological nomenclature, unless the Commission has ruled otherwise. However, such a suppressed or rejected work may be used as a source of information relevant to zoological nomenclature unless the Commission has expressly ruled that the work is to be treated as unpublished. OFFICIAL LISTS AND INDEXES INTRODUCTORY NOTE The International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature was founded in Leiden in 1895 during the 3rd International Congress of Zoology. It is devoted entirely to providing a service for the zoological and palaeontological community and has the task of stabilising and promoting uniformity in the nomenclature of animals without interfering with taxonomic freedom. To this end, the Commission publishes the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, the 4th Edition of which came into effect on 1 January 2000 and contains the definitive rules for the application of zoological names. The Commission is empowered to suspend the rules when their strict application would cause confusion or would act against stability or universality in nomenclature. This can only be done by the use of the Commission's plenary power and after discussion with interested zoologists; such problems are discussed in the Bulletin of Zoological Nomenclature before the Commission reaches a final decision by means of a vote. The Commission's rulings are published in the Bulletin in the form of Opinions. The family-group, generic and specific names and the titles of works upon which the Commission has ruled are placed on the Commission's Official Lists or Official Indexes. In 1987 the International Trust for Zoological Nomenclature, which handles the Commission's publishing and financial affairs, published the Official Lists and Indexes of Names and Works in Zoology. That book gave details of all names and works which had been placed on the Official Lists and Indexes up to the end of 1985. The volume contained 9917 entries, 9783 being family-group, generic or specific names and 134 entries relating to works. In the 15 years 1986-2000 inclusive a further 601 Opinions and Directions have been published in the Bulletin, listing 2371 names and 14 works placed on the Official Lists and Indexes. Details of these 2385 entries are given in the present Supplement, together with emendments to the entries in the 1987 volume. Additional sections are (a) a table correlating the nominal type species of genera listed in the 1987 volume with the valid, but different, names of those species, (b) a systematic index of all names on the Official Lists in the 1987 volume and this Supplement, and (c) a bibliographic reference to Opinions and Directions summarised in this Supplement. A number of changes have been made in the layout for this Supplement. Family-group, generic and specific names have been grouped in one list rather than given separately as in the 1987 volume. Furthermore, the systematic group is shown for all names and not, as previously, only for names placed on the Official Lists. Two points made in the 1987 volume should be emphasised. First, names have been placed on the Official Lists and Indexes over a span of many years, and the varied wording of the entries reflects differing practices on the part of the Commission. Secondly, the 1987 volume inevitably contains some errors, most of which have been corrected when known. However, earlier authorships of some names (mainly at family-group level) have not been incorporated because the Commission and Secretariat have not had an opportunity to consider the implications, and in some systematic groups the earliest authorships have never been investigated in detail. Meanwhile, the Commission and Secretariat would welcome notification of errors for correction in any subsequent edition of the Official Lists and Indexes.
