    Hi Björn, This entry is the accepted OD of Cassicus chrysonotus, which indeed assumes it was intended to read "C. chrysonotus", and not as a genus-group name. The taxon is explicitly called a species in the diagnosis. ("Affinis hæc species Cassico icteronoto" means "This species is close to...

    Interesting case ;) https://books.google.com/books?id=zHzScFfeJgsC&pg=PA743&dq=nipica The third letter really is a 'd', which the typographer placed upside down. (I.e., physically, it's rotated by 180°, rather than 'inverted and reversed'. The bar, on this letter, has a single serif, as have...

    Schlegel wrote it as two words freti hudsonis (adopting it from Brisson, whose species-group names are not available), but the Code treats this type of name as a compound word, which must be written as one. Article 32. Original spellings | International Code of Zoological Nomenclature :

    ...or from a completely different source where the same misspelling was used coincidentally. In my files, I have Chasiempsis as a misspelling used by Bonaparte in 1850, and Entomedestes as a misspelling used by Todd in 1931. I probably got these from Neave.

    Peters may have been correct in 1951, but he is wrong (and Hellmayr is right) under the current rules. The valid designation is unquestionably that of Swainson. The current Code says: I.e., a type designation cannot be rejected on the mere account that a name in the designation was...
