[Taxacom] Use of parentheses

[Bob Mesibov]

Many thanks for the several replies to this query. It certainly seems that 
the Code requires parentheses in this case.

For the curious, there are a number of examples in my specialty group. Here 
are two, from the same 1924 paper:

Antichiropus (Solaenodolichopus) teres Verhoeff, 1924 (type species of 
Solaenodolichopus by subsequent designation)
Australiosoma (Paraustraliosoma) malandense Verhoeff, 1924 (type species of 
Paraustraliosoma by monotypy)

Both subgenera were subsequently elevated to genus, and the 2 type species 
now appear in the literature as

Solaenodolichopus teres (Verhoeff, 1924)
Paraustraliosoma malandense Verhoeff, 1924

I will add parentheses to the second name in my next checklist.

Again, many thanks.
