This would appear to be a case of an unavailable name presently in use, 
and therefore a significant problem in need of resolution.

In entomology, we have similar problems with names authored by Voet, all 
unavailable under Art. 11 but a few of which are still in use. It has 
been difficult, at times, to convince people to stop using these names.
