Frierson (1927, A Classified and Annotated Check List of the North
American Naiades) in some copies has a typewritten (conspicuously not
matching the printing of the book) page of Errata et Corrigenda. On it
he proposes replacements for three preoccupied genus names and
identifies certain species listings in the main text as showing the
type of the respective genus or subgenus. I have not confirmed whether
any new species names have spelling corrected (one new genus listed
once with a presumably incorrect spelling different from the rest of
the text is not corrected).
Are the replacement genera valid as of this? Are the type designations
valid?
(ICZN applies; "naiad" has been used of plants but this is freshwater
mussels).
