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!
