Nomenclature Although the name Parabrachidontes was not available the their 2023 article, Tan et al. (2024) argued that the requirements for availability of the specific name amnicus in the main text of Tan et al. (2023) were all met with. The paper (Article 11.1) “must have been published, in the meaning of Article 8” which is fulfilled by the ZooBank registration. The new specific name (Article 11.9) “must be published in unambiguous
combination with a generic name (Article 11.9.3.1.); “the generic name need not be valid or even available” (which is the case, the generic name is unavailable). The new specific name (Article 13.1.1.) “…must be accompanied by a description or definition that states in words characters that are purported to differentiate the taxon” which is fulfilled on page 305, and must be (Article 16.1) “explicitly indicated as intentionally new” which is fulfilled by the use of “sp. n.”. The requirement (Article 16.4) of “the explicit fixation of a holotype, or syntypes, for the nominal taxon” and “a statement of intent that they will be (or are) deposited in a collection and a statement indicating the name and location of that collection” are fulfilled by the caption of Figure 2 stating “Holotype, PMBC 30680... “ with “PMBC” explained page 303 as “PMBC, Phuket Marine Biological Center Reference, Collection, Thailand”.
