Hi,
According to the Zoological nomenclature code how should a name be
written if the original description written with incorrect genus spelling name? i.e.
Lets say the
Genus Megalytra Linnaeus, 1758 is
already known and a new species was describe as
Megalytrus
fieberi Puton, 1885
Should it be written with correct spelling
like this:
Megalytra fieberi Puton,
1885
or with parenthesis, like
this
Megalytra fieberi
(Puton, 1885)
I'll appreciate a reference to the code article,
Thanks
