[Taxacom] What is Garsault's (1764) Noctua caprimulgus today?

[Stephen Thorpe]

Note also: 

57.8. Exceptions.

57.8.1. Homonymy between identical species-group names in combination (originally or subsequently) with homonymous generic names having the same spelling but established for different nominal genera [Art. 53.2] is to be disregarded.

Example. Noctua Linnaeus, 1758 (Insecta) and Noctua Gmelin, 1771 (Aves) are homonyms, but homonymy between variegata Jung, 1792 in Noctua (Insecta) and variegata Quoy & Gaimard, 1830 in Noctua (Aves) is disregarded.

 Dear all,
 
 I found the following
 references on the web (which I have not yet
 investigated except for the third one) that may
 shed some more light on
 this, and appear to
 treat Garsault's names (or at least some of them) as
 available, so maybe it is not an open-and-shut
 case:
 
 
 Welter-Schultes, F. W., Klug, R. & Lutze,
 A. (2008) Les figures des plantes
 et animaux
 d’usage en médecine, a rare work published by F. A. P.
 de
 Garsault in 1764. Archives of natural
 History, 35 (1), 118–127.
 
 Welter-Schultes, F. W. & Klug, R. (2009)
 Nomenclatural consequences
 resulting from
 the rediscovery of Les figures des plantes et animaux
 d'usage en medicine, a rare work published
 by Garsault in 1764, in the
 zoological
 literature. Bulletin of zoological Nomenclature, 66 (3),
 225–241.
 
 ALAIN DUBOIS
 & ROGER BOUR, 2010. The nomenclatural status of the
 nomina of
 amphibians and reptiles created by
 Garsault (1764), with a parsimonious
 solution to an old nomenclatural problem
 regarding the genus Bufo
 (Amphibia, Anura),
 comments on the taxonomy of this genus, and comments on
 some nomina created by Laurenti (1768). Zootaxa
 2447: 1–52
 
 The last of
 these is available online at
 https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Alain_Dubois/publication/283874107_The_nomenclatural_status_of_the_nomina_of_amphibians_and_reptiles_created_by_Garsault_1764_with_a_parsimonious_solution_to_an_old_nomenclatural_problem_regarding_the_genus_Bufo_Amphibia_Anura_comments/links/567a79ba08aeaa48fa4c3f4a.pdf
 
 Further advice
 appreciated...
