Obscure publications

[Robert H. Cowie]

In the light of the discussion regarding "obscure publications", does
electronic publication of new species (e.g., the example below) make the
names available?

>
> Three new species of the wood roach, Cryptocercus (Blattodea:
> Cryptocercidae), are
> described from the Appalachian mountains in the eastern United States. The
> description is based on consistent differences in DNA sequence of the two
> mitochondrial rRNA genes, chromosome number, geographic range, and
> morphology. Until recently, it was assumed that all Cryptocercus in the
eastern
> United States were conspecific.  However, data on variation in DNA
sequence and
> chromosome number from samples collected over much of the distribution of
> Cryptocercus in the eastern United States suggested the existence of four
> evolutionary lineages and forms the basis for the new species described
> here.   In
> addition to describing the new species, we provide diagnostic characters,
> notes on
> the geographical distribution, and DNA sequence for the 12S rRNA and 16S
> rRNA gene fragments of holotype specimens.
