[Taxacom] Type species from unavailable genus name

[Neal Evenhuis]

I searched Google Scholar and there are over 50,000 hits for "Genus A", so it has indeed been used quite a bit….

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!

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!
