[Taxacom] Nomina nuda and genbank?

Fri Oct 30 12:44:53 CDT 2009

Thanks for all the answers...

then if I got it... a name refering to a "new species" associated to a
sequence in the GenBank but without type is not a nomen nudum but
simply an invalid name. Right?

most of the time in GenBank you don't get info on voucher specimens...

cheers
