[Taxacom] Does a misspelling merit parentheses?

[Stephen Thorpe]

It would be interesting to check some actual cases of unjustified emendations used as valid replacement names, to see how they have actually been treated. Does anyone know of any such real cases?

 Adam, what you suggest is the
 spirit we would extract behind the rules. 
 Parentheses should only be set if a species is
 transferred to a 
 different genus, and not
 to the same genus for which a slightly 
 different spelling is used. No matter if
 emendation or incorrect 
 subsequent
 spelling.
 
 Thomas
 highlighted the need to look closely at the Code's
 rules, and 
 extracted in theory a case where
 this spirit is not covered. I would not 
 tend to neglect that.
 
 If the Code is not robust enough to cover all
 possible cases, I think in 
 such a case
 there is a need to align the Code and to cover all those 
 cases in the sense of that spirit. This would
 be the best solution, 
 since it seems to
 reflect current practice, and only very few people are 
 even able to discover exceptions of this
 rule.
