[Taxacom] two names online published - one new species

[Stephen Thorpe]

Laurent,

No offence, but your comments suggest to me that you fail to grasp what is perhaps the most fundamental principle of zoological nomenclature, namely the distinction between publication and valid publication. New names do not necessarily date (for the purposes of priority and/or homonymy) from their date of publication. They date from their date of valid publication, which may not be the same. This is why we have such things as unavailable names. They are published names, but not validly published names. Rich was talking about the date of valid publication. The glossary only defines date of publication.

Cheers,

Stephen

 To my eye, you are still
 trying to twist the text into what you believe 
 is "logical", without offering a
 demonstration that the text allows your 
 interpretation.
 Where in the
 Code do you see two different concept of "date of 
 publications"? I see only one, this is the
 date from which the name 
 takes its
 priority, and this must be Richard's #4 unless I
 deliberately 
 decide to violate the
 text.
