On the correct authorship, spelling, and type species of genus Dasongius (Pauropoda: Pauropodidae)

Abstract

The genus Songius Sun & Guo in Guo et al., 2010 (Pauropoda: Pauropodidae) was established for two new species from China: Songius rugosus Sun & Guo in Guo et al., 2010 and Songius bicruris Guo & Sun in Guo et al., 2010. The manuscript was received by the journal Zoological Science on 7th April 2010 and the article is displayed on the BioOne platform with the publication date of 1st November 2010. In the same year, Yin et al. (2010) established the genus Songius Yin & Li in Yin et al., 2010 (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Pselaphinae).

The correct authorship of Arthropoda—A reappraisal

“…Until now, those inconsistencies had been restricted to the publication year. For example, Myriapoda Latreille is often given with the year 1802 in most databases except for Myriatrix ( The Fellegship of the Rings 2020 onwards), while the year of other names such as Geophilomorpha Pocock, 1896 and Pauropoda Lubbock, 1868 has already been corrected in print (see Martínez-Muñoz & Perez-Gelabert 2018: 77 and Martínez-Muñoz & Bu : 599, respectively). In this paper, I revise both the accepted author and year for a scientific name in everyday use: the speciose phylum Arthropoda, comprising organisms as diverse as myriapods, chelicerates, and crustaceans (including insects).…”
