[Taxacom] Lectotype/Holotype as Neotype in Zoology

[Andrew Smith]

Hi Mike - I designate the same specimen as the neotype for three different names to make them all objective synonyms.  See Macrodactylus farinosus:

Sincerely,
Andrew

Can anyone direct  me to a paper in ZOOLOGY where a Lectotype or Holotype of one species is then designated as the Neotype of another to establish objective synonymy?  I know I have seen this done, but cannot find an example.

Thanks,

Mike
