How about this example in Mollusca of names that are synonyms and homonyms, by the same author in the same year in different publications with different type specimens.
Puncturella hendersoni Dall, 1927: Proceedings of the United States National Museum 70(2667): 111, type locality off Georgia.
Puncturella hendersoni Dall, 1927: Proceedings of the United States National Museum 70(2668): 9, type locality off Sambo Reef, Florida.

Hi Everyone,
I am looking for an example of a 'same year, same rank, same code homonym'.
Does anyone know of an example of two identically spelled names
(uninomial, binomial or trinomial) that were published in the same year
at the same rank and are governed by the same nomenclatural code (ICBN
or ICZN or Bacteriological or Viral)?
Note I am excluding the author string here.
The ICBN does say that near-identical spellings may also be considered
homonyms but I am looking for identical spellings really.
There must be some out there but I just can't find an example.
Would be most grateful for any help,
Roger
