Genus Zoanthus Lamarck, 1801

Miscellaneous Literature Names

 

Introduction

Low & Reimer (2012) clarified the authorship and spelling of the genus-group name 'Zoantha' (Lamarck 1801: 363); the Greek ending '-os' should be Latinised to the masculine '-us' following Article 30.1.3 of the Code. “'Zoantha' is therefore an original incorrect spelling (Articles 32.4 and 32.5 of the Code); Tilesius (1809: 394, footnote) first emended the name to Zoanthus. The authorship and date of publication of the genus-group name Zoanthus remains Lamarck (1801) (Article 33.2.2 of the Code).
