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

Geoff,
The concept of a type locality exists only because we happen to have a typological system of zoological (and botanical) nomenclature. Without such a typological system of nomenclature, there would be no type localities, and yet nothing important would be any different. Authors of new species would still specify the locality/localities of their material examined, and we would still go to that plane/those places to search for the species (and to any other subsequently specified localities). You are conflating two quite different things, and you are not alone! The most worrying thing is the spurious link between type localities and conservation. Nomenclatural technicalities have no relevance to conservation! Note that if an author describes a new species from several localities, only the locality of the holotype is the type locality, and yet the locality/localities of the paratypes are just as useful for looking for the species.
Cheers,
Stephen

Stephen,
The importance of a type locality is
that it is, in the whole vast area of
the Earth, the one small spot where the
species is known to occur, and
unfortunately lots of species are only
known from their type localities.
So we don't go looking in the Himalayas
for more of a species whose type
locality is a valley in the Waitakere
Ranges, Auckland, NZ. That would be
absurd.
That there is by convention a formal
type locality (with a few directions
in the Code to guide us in our use of
it) reduces our
re-locating-the-species problem to
manageable dimensions, and prevents
hijacking of a species concept to an
animal or plant coming from a place
where it is not reasonable that the
species would occur. So we should have
better stability of names via sensible
use of type localities.
Declaring a nomen dubium is not going
to be 'end-of-story', except if the
name is an obscure one of no
importance. Anyone with a different opinion
to you, or who has gathered more
evidence, could keep using it
subsequently. For a name still useful
with some biology known about the
species the next step might be to ask
the Commission for the bad type to
be replaced with a neotype (hopefully
from the type locality). If there's
no apparent type then any taxonomist
could designate a neotype for your
'nomen dubium' without asking the
Commission. It's not about being
absolutely certain they've determined
the species correctly - it's just a
working solution so that biology can
carry on being done on biota that now
has a fixed name.
