Discussion:Odonates du Monde
2024 (DP : 23 juillet → 23 et 25 juillet)
Question de Dennis Paulson (DP) le 23 juillet 2024 - I was asked about the author(s) of Uropetala carovei, so I found your email (17 janvier 2020), where I had accepted your suggestion that the author was White in Dieffenbach, 1843. But in that paper, there was no holotype designated, so I presume this qualifies it as a nomen nudum, as Bridges (1994) pointed out. So I think it would be good to change the author back to White, 1846, but looking in Bridges, it would seem to be White in Richardson, 1846.

Ma réponse du 23 juillet 2024 - But you can be sure that : Uropetala carovei (White in Dieffenbach, 1843) from Petalura carovei White in Dieffenbach, 1843 is the correct version ! It is not a NN as Bridges (1994) said : not a nomen nudum. The « type » would be in British Museum !
The source is : Dieffenbach E. 1843 - Travels in New Zealand, with contributions to the geography, geology, botany and natural history of the country. - Murray, London, vol. 2 : 281-282. - ONLINE
and you can consult online the fact that the book is from Dieffenbach, the date 1843, in a chapter written about White and Doubleday, but the species is joined only with the name of White > The White (in White & Doubleday : not useful) in Dieffenbach (1843) !!!
These informations are correct and verified. The only problem that could arise is that the edition is badly dated.
The « traditional » version with White (1846) is not the first description, White in Richardson (1846)… too ! I had find these paper(s), but they are not in my computer here, in holiday. If you need, I will can find them later.
