Paratachinus Blackwelder

Hayashi (2003b: 133) treated Paratachinus as a genus, not a subgenus as was done in the present work, but he erroneously stated that Cameron was the author of the name. According to the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature a genus­group name proposed after 1930 without a type species designation is unavailable (Article 13.3) and the first writer to satisfy the conditions of availability is the author of the name (Article 50.1). Cameron did not cite designate a type species so Paratachinus was unavailable; it became available when Blackwelder designated a type species so he is the author.
