Dear All;-
        Aha!!
        But even if it is "zapped", a name remains in the literature for all
time to re-found by some Phd candidate 200 years hence, and re-asserted
as the true name for C. phonusbalonus Weil, 1999.
        Look at poor Roding. We went back and found his name (Epitonium) for
wentletraps. It has stood up. But roding also described some 40 species
of "Epitoniidae" and not a single one of them has stood up. Do we have a
better review system today?
