[Taxacom] Type species from unavailable genus name

OK, if that was the question, then I agree with Laurent's answer. I read it as Mikhail intended to propose genus B himself. However, my comment still stands that whoever proposed genus B would have been wiser to validate genus A instead!

 Is Mikhail's question really
 understood as he meant it...?
 Perhaps
 I'm the one who is misreading it, but I don't think
 the question 
 was about valid names, or the
 intended introduction of any new generic 
 name. I would understand the question as:
 
 What is the correct way to
 cite the type species of a genus (here, 
 "genus B", type species fixed by
 monotypy -- i.e., presumably simply 
 originally included in B as "B
 somespecies"), when said type species was 
 established in combination with a generic name
 ("genus A") that was 
 unavailable...?
 
 (I would go with "A somespecies
 Originalauthor, Year", in agreement with 
 Rec. 67B. Even though "A" has (or
 had) no nomenclatural standing.)
 
 Cheers, L -
