Taxacom: Subspecies turns out to be valid species

[Stephen Thorpe]

 Just adding some clarity to this, as it is a bit of a worry that basic nomenclature seems to be widely poorly understood. The taxon in question is not "undescribed", it is currently just given the rank of subspecies. The crucial point that I want to make clear, though, is that if it is given full species rank, the authorship remains the same as when considered a subspecies, i.e. Steatoda concolor (di Caporiacco, 1933)
Cheers, Stephen

 Dear Jan,
Steatoda concolor would be the correct name in such a case.

If this helps.

Best wishes
Francisco

The type specimen of S. triangulosa concolor is a subadult female, but comparison with newly collected adult material of that undescribed species makes this very clear. My question: should the new species be named Steatoda concolor then?
