We are behaving as if article 56-B was part of the Bill of Rights. It
is a badly constructed article and poorly applied. It should be part
of the ICZN duties to make sure that names cannot be misconstrued. A
one letter difference does not make that clear. The ICZN should now
write an amendment that states that no two species of mollusk should
be able to be confused because similarities in their names. If there
is such similarity, the one described most recently should be changed.
 Paul Monfils has some fine examples.
