Dear Mikhail,
It would be useful to know the involved names. I understand that 
somespecies was established in genus A at that pre-1931 occasion? Then 
it should read B. somespecies (Originalauthor, Year).

Many considerations can come in between. Genus A could have been made 
available by a subsequent author who just mentioned this genus with a 
short description and with one species included (type by monotypy), 
previous to the publication of genus B. Types can occasionally also be 
fixed by absolute tautonymy.

Francisco
