ICZN Article 32.5 - incorrect original spellings

[Michael Schmitt]

Dear Listmembers,

shortly, I think that in all cases listed Dr. Wuster emendation is required
by the code.

Just a minor hint: the names Acanthophis lancasteri cummingi (after a lady
>by the name of Cumming), Leiopython albertisi barkeri (named
after David and Tracy Barker) and Leiopython albertisi bennetti (named
after Daniel Bennett and Clive Bennett) are not formed linguistically
incorrect. They follow Latin grammar. They have to be emendated because
they violate regulations of the ICZN.

In contrast, the names Acanthophis wellsei (after Richard Wells),
Acanthophis crotalusei (named after Crotalus...), and Pailsus pailsei
(after a Mr. Pails), are incorrectly formed Latin genitives.

Both types of incorrect names have to be emendated anyway.

                                   Greetings
                                Michael Schmitt
