[Taxacom] Enquiry from Calodema - The Website of Dr Trevor J Hawkeswood

[Stephen Thorpe]

Dear Trevor,
I thought I was actually being quite reasonable in pointing out that there was a 
problem with the family name! No offence was intended (*then*). You can't just 
change the genus name, by the way. You may be interested to know that in Norm 
Platnick's opinion, it isn't even a new genus, never mind a new family, but I 
wasn't going to go into the taxonomic problems with the paper ...
Cheers,
Stephen
PS: Better a "smart arse" than a "dumb arse" ...

thanks Trevor ... the new genus and species stand up, but unfortunately for you, 
the family name Hawkeswoodidae is an unavailable name according to the 
International Code of Zoological Nomenclature. New family-group names must be 
formed from the stem of an available genus group name (the type genus). So, the 
authors needed to also name the new genus after you (say, as Hawkeswoodius), and 
only then could Hawkeswoodidae be the name of the family ... oh well, better 
luck next time!
