[Taxacom] Does a misspelling merit parentheses?

[Stephen Thorpe]

Contrary to what others have indicated to you, pleasse refer directly to Art. 51.3.1

'51.3.1. Parentheses are not used when the species-group name was originally combined with an incorrect spelling or an emendation of the generic name (this applies even though an unjustified emendation is an available name with its own authorship and date)'

 In 1864, Wollaston described the species
 punctatus in a genus he originally
 spelled as "Limnebius". In a later
 paper, he corrected the generic spelling
 to "Limnobius".
 
 Is this correction enough to merit his
 name being placed in parentheses?
 That is, should this species now be
 referred to as
 
 a). Limnobius punctatus Wollaston,
 1864, or
 
 b). Limnobius punctatus (Wollaston,
 1864)?
 
 Thanks,
