So does this means a name can be changed if published later by the author in a revision?
"The rules of taxonomic nomenclature (ICZN, 1999: Article 32) mandate that the original spelling of a species epithet such as this
must stand unless there is evidence in the published work itself that the author's intention was inconsistent with that orthography.
Well, there is a bit of a twist here: Article 33.2.1 specifically includes "an author's (or publisher's) corrigenda" as part of the
original work. Thus, the passage of six months notwithstanding, the emended scientific name that heads this report must stand:
Miltha childreni."
Plagiodontes weyenberghi Doering, 1880 was initially published as P. weyemberghi, which is still used by some collectors and
dealers.
Pilsbry accepted Plagiodontes weyenberghi and noted on his work (Pilsbry, H.A., 1901-2, Manual of Conchology, Vol.XIV., pg.100) that
the misspelled name was corrected later to weyenberghi by Doering in 1880.
So, I assume the accepted name should be with N, even if the original work was with M, right?

Dear listers,
With the help of the Internet and Gary Rosenberg, I have delved more
deeply into Children's Lucine and changed my conclusions a bit.
The report I offered you on 18 February has been somewhat revised:

With apologies for my irresolute ways,
