[Taxacom] Type species from unavailable genus name

The unavailability of genus A is not fixed forever! The name should be validated (which effectively means used as new again) before any alternative new generic names are introduced for any of the included species!
Cheers,
Stephen

 Genus A was described for two species after
 1931, but type species was not
 designated. The genus name A is thus
 unavailable. Despite that more species
 under genus name A have been described
 subsequently. One of them seems to
 be a new genus B, with a type species
 by monotypy. What is the correct name
 for the type species? A. somespecies
 Originalauthor, Year; B. somespecies
 (Originalauthor, Year); or else?
 Appreciate your help!
