[Taxacom] Type species from unavailable genus name

There are many records in the literature for genus A. If genus A was 
unavailable from the 1968 paper, the next occasion after 1968 and before 
2000 must be found where genus A was mentioned with a short description 
and with one single species included. This would have made genus A 
available at that occasion (type fixation by monotypy), with a different 
author and a slightly later date. And hopefully without a spelling error...

Only if all such candidate publications were checked and none was among 
them that unintentionally made the genus A name available, then a genus 
B can be established.

Cheers
Francisco
