outlets for alpha taxonomy

[WILLIAM B WARNER]

Yes, it does (as long as the other description criteria are met in the
(paper) published abstracts).  The Coleopterists Bulletin has recently done
some of this, with short descriptions (enough to cover the "Code" criteria)
printed in the Bulletin, and full descriptions supposedly to be posted on a
website later.  Publication date is the printing date of the printed
version.  I am personally amongst the dinosaurs (sorry, I guess that should
be "protobirds") that see the wisdom in ink on paper vs. a website that
could disappear after three years because of lack of funding, the historical
record left being a few inkjet printouts in file cabinets.

Cheers,

Bill
