Taxacom: New Nomination on Entomobrya species

Dear Rafael,
Names, even if incorrectly formed, stand in their original spelling and
subsequent corrections are usually unjustified emendations. Art. 32.4
determines which names can be corrected subsequently. Names incorrectly
formed under violation of the provisions of Art. 11.9.1 do not belong to
the names that must subsequently be corrected.
Entomobrya niger is apparently a junior homonym of E. nigra, if such a
name was previously established for a different taxon, so this name
seems to need a new replacement name.
In the ZooBank entry the field for "Type Specimen(s):" was obviously
misinterpreted, also the entry under "Type Locality:" does not fit.
If this helps.
Best wishes
Francisco
