Wish I'd seen this before I wrote to Lambert. Based on the details 
coming out in that blog, Lambert's name appears to be a homonym, 
after all, and apparently he and his coauthors are already acting on 
it. Amazing, in a way, considering how trivial it is to search the 
Nomenclator Zoologicus online.

Peace,
