Notes
.
Berlese (1904c)
spelled the name of this genus as
Thrichocylliba
four times on pages 329–331. In the Index to the same paper he spelled it as
Trichocylliba
or "
Trich
." seven times (pages 455–464). Almost all authors since then have used the spelling
Trichocylliba
, including Berlese himself (
Berlese, 1917
).
Elzinga (1982)
described this action by
Berlese (1917)
as an emendation.
Farrier & Hennessey (1993)
argued that
Trichocylliba
is an incorrect subsequent spelling, and selected
Thrichocylliba
as the correct spelling of the genus name. That was the appropriate action as First Reviser, under Article 24 (b) of the Third Edition of the
International Code of Zoological Nomenclature
, which was in force at the time. However, Article 24.2.3 of the current
Code
, which did not exist in 1993, makes
Berlese (1917)
First Reviser, and makes
Trichocylliba
the correct spelling of the name. No other author before or after
Farrier & Hennessey (1993)
has used the spelling
Thrichocylliba
, so I here use the spelling
Trichocylliba
in the interests of stability. According to
Elzinga (1982)
,
Berlese (1904c)
designated
D
.
comata
as the
type
species of
Trichocylliba
, but that appears to be an error.
