Re: new Petrochromis species
Thank you so much Ingo, the article is a pre-print and not yet peer reviewed, printed in a pre-print server. So I assume the taxa are not available yet. I have provisionally added the names to the profiles in the site nonetheless

Re: new Petrochromis species
Thanks Ingo,
You are right Juan Miguel, just a pre-print, so not yet available.
Quite a pity that the etymology of the names is not given

Well, I'm pretty sure this is one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heffalump
Discovery consists of looking at the same thing as everyone else and thinking something different
Re: new Petrochromis species
I had a talk with Sven O. Kullander and the author is his previous student. Apparently it got out as a draft too fast and he appreciates if we remove the file and do not spread the names anymore at this point. I removed them from www.cicklid.org/artregister

Re: new Petrochromis species
Yes, that's good advice.
I'm not familiar with the species of the genus, but all seem to have useful provisional names which should be retained until the paper is out.
Correct, they are not available (not published according to the criteria of the code). So we should not use the new names in our catalog until they are formally published. This will hopefully (soon, now that the names are dropped) be the case, but nobody knows. Remember "Gymnogeophagus arcoiris".Juan Artigas wrote: ↑Mon Mar 12, 2018 5:07 pmSo I assume the taxa are not available yet.

Yes I just left the nomenclature records, with a 'provisional name' category.Rico Morgenstern wrote: ↑Wed Mar 14, 2018 10:45 amCorrect, they are not available (not published according to the criteria of the code).

Re: new Petrochromis species
To prevent further speculations. I’ve checked the publication under the view of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature.
It turns out that the names of the new species are not available in a nomenclature point of view. The ‘journal’ has no ISSN-Number and there is no ‘zoobank’ registration. Both are mandatory requirements to make new nomenclatural acts available under the code.
Nevertheless, it is an interesting paper and the names will be published soon.
