scientific name

Helionomus Gray, 1842
status

[nomen nudum (APP6), incorrect subsequent spelling (APP4)]

Genus Helionomus Gray, 1842 [nomen nudum (APP6), incorrect subsequent spelling (APP4)]

Remarks:

Hoser (2004) obviously intended to resurrect the genus Heleionomus Gray, 1842 but changed the name to " Helionomus ". This constitutes an incorrect subsequent spelling (Art. 33.3). However, the name Helionomus was already used by Gray (1841) listed in the index for Boidae , but no species was assigned to this name, and it is therefore considered a nomen nudum. Also see Heleionomus .
