Taxacom: code-criticizing paper found a publisher

[David Campbell]

Not too sure what the point is of publishing in a place unlikely to be seen
by those that it tries to criticize, and not a good critique, either, but
might be worth being aware of.  Basically, the complaint is that WoRMS
rejects the authors' name that was constructed inappropriately by adding a
prefix to the stem genus, but they take quite a while to get to the point.

author, which WoRMS does not accept the name Neostromboidea from, not being
Code-compliantly derived from *Strombus*.  (I think that it would be
recognizable under the PhyloCode, but it is not ICZN-compliant.)

having name(s?) being accepted despite not providing a description.  For
me, I had to open the link in a new window and then refresh it before the
pdf actually appeared.  It is true that the descriptions of new subgenera
often do not clearly indicate which features distinguish the subgenus
versus being species-level distinctives.  New subgenera within *Strombus *are
grouped under headings that give a brief description of the group and thus
technically provide characters differentiating the subgenus from some other
subgenera, though not from all others.  Under each subgenus. species within
the subgenus, including the type, are discussed.  Differences with species
from other subgenera are noted, but not necessarily clearly labeled as
distinctives of the subgenus.
