ICZN article 13.3 states “To be available, every new genus-group name published after 1930 (except those proposed for collective groups or ichnotaxa) must, in addition to satisfying the provisions of Article 13.1, be accompanied by the fixation of a type species in the original publication [Art. 68] or be expressly proposed as a new replacement name (nomen novum) [Art. 67.8].” Seven generic names published by Lawrence between 1931 and 1933 include more than one species and did not originally have designation of a genus type. All of them only became available in Staręga’s catalogue (

ABK did all previous bibliographical survey, organized and uploaded the database, detected nomenclatural problems, offered solutions for them. He also conceived and drafted the manuscript.
ACM delineated and discussed the alternative classifications of the groups, checked for inconsistencies on placement of taxa, chose and obtained most illustrations.
DRS organized the final database, saw to its upload and migrated fields to the Darwin Core Archive format.
First and second authors regret not having read page 12 of Roewer's (1935) paper seven years ago.
