[Taxacom] Does a misspelling merit parentheses?

[Francisco Welter-Schultes]

I must assist Stephen here. Art. 51.3.1 should be followed. No matter if 
the emendation was justified or unjustified, and also regardless if 
Limnobius has a different authorship and date than Limnebius. A 
misspelling does not merit parentheses.

a). Limnobius punctatus Wollaston, 1864 is correct, without parentheses. 
If you prefer using Limnobius as the generic name.

Which I would not recommend to do. It seems to me that Limnebius is in 
prevailing usage, not Limnobius. In this point I would assist Neal.

Best regards
Francisco
