[Taxacom] Iapyx vs. Japyx (etc.) in Diplura

Sun Apr 12 19:20:56 CDT 2020

If a subsequent author after 1865 proposed intentionally to use the 
spelling Japyx, not Iapyx, then that subsequent author would have 
established an unjustified emendation Japyx, with its own authorship and 
date. In such a case Art. 33.2.3.1 would come into effect.

> Meinert clearly refers "Japyx" and "Japygidae" to Haliday's original work, and there is no indication of an intentional change of the spelling. This means that this is not an (unjustified) emendation, but a subsequent spelling that by its prevailing usage is deemed to be the correct original spelling.
