Stephen,

When an early view file issued in 2015 gets included in a 2016 volumes, 
an original statement "Systematic Entomology (2015), DOI: 
10.1111/syen.#####" (as in the yet-to-be-published file here: 
http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/syen.12157/epdf ) is 
*changed* into a statement "Systematic Entomology (2016), 41, ##-##." 
(as in this file: 
http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/syen.12142/epdf , which is 
registered in ZooBank as being published on 12 Aug 2015: 
http://zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoo
bank.org:pub:38D703ED-127A-4DB0-8153-8D78AF4AC212 ).

The year that appears in this statement in the final file (the only one 
that remains) is *not*, nor is even *intended* to be, the year of 
publication of the pdf file that we are trying here to make "published". 
It is the year of publication of the print run.

And of nothing else.

Cheers, Laurent -
