"I have not seen the paper, but further to this, the names may also not be available if the authors have not designated primary types and stated where they are deposited."

Type and locality were specified. Example:

"Hemidactylus coalescens sp. nov. Holotype. Zoologisches Forschungsinstitut und Museum Alexander Koenig (ZFMK) 87680, adult male; Cameroon, Campo Region, Nkoelon, 2.39728 N, 10.045158 E, 85 m; collected by Michael F. Barej and Julia Wurstner, 27 October 2007."

The problem with these names is only (!) the means of diagnosis.
