[Taxacom] Type localities (was: Bionomina 13 published)

[Stephen Thorpe]

Not quite! The type localities per se still aren't important in the situation you describe. What matters is the distributions of the segregate species in the complex.

 Oh, really? Except for the most common
 situation in shallow-water marine invertebrates. Once one
 actually bothers to look more or less carefully at this
 "common, widespread uniform species" and discovers a huge
 species complex beyond the façade of this "common" or even
 "cosmopolitan species", the importance of the type
 localities somehow becomes crystal clear.
