Stephen,

Yes, you are right, it does give the ZooBank registration code beneath the 
abstract in the printed version, and a ZooBank registration for each of the 
3 new taxa (family, genus and species names) but nowhere in the paper nor in 
the Contents does it state 'Article first published online: 4 JAN 2016'. 
That apparently only appears on the website.

I agree that absence of indication in the printed version does not in itself 
rule out Code compliant publication for the online version.

Adam.
