OK, applying my new found understanding...
ZooBank has a work "Total evidence phylogenetic analysis and
reclassification of Euschistus Dallas within Carpocorini (Hemiptera:
Pentatomidae: Pentatominae)" by Bianci et al., with the
ID E09D2675-0F2B-4AAE-9837-257E0B18BC52, plus included taxa, registered as
dating from 2017. However the online version of the work, containing the
ZooBank IDs, is stated as first published online 30 December 2016, also
with "© 2016 The Royal Entomological Society" on the front page. Can we
therefore presume that the correct date for the work and its included taxa
is therefore 2016, and the ZooBank record/s are in error?
Just checking that my understanding is now correct, or maybe I am still
missing something...
Of course I am not ignoring the possibility that ZooBank, like other online
systems, might contain errors; I am just interested as to whether this is a
justifiable method to detect them.
