Recommendation 6A. Undesirable interpolation of certain genus-group names in binomina or trinomina. No genus-group name other than a valid subgeneric name should be interpolated between a generic name and a specific name, even in square brackets or parentheses. An author who desires to refer to a former generic combination should do so in some explicit form such as:
- Branchiostoma lanceolatum [formerly in Amphioxus]
- Litterae infestatae [formerly in Lyrica]
- Femina domestica desperata [formerly in Amores]
- Homo excretus [formerly in Amores]
- Regio occidentalis desintegrans [formerly in Europa]
- Nomenclatura vacua hypercommercialis [formerly in Academica]
- Lyrica liberata [formerly in Marginalia]
Recommendation 111B. In spite of the obvious mistakes against the Latin or Greek language, erroneous binomina or trinoma should not be corrected. Choice of genus-group names remains the privilege of the first describer.
