Abstract
This nomenclator provides bibliographic details on all names in the family-, genus-, and species-group of the the family Paludomidae. All nomenclaturally available names are discussed including junior homonyms and objective junior synonyms as well as unavailable names such as nomina nuda, infrasubspecific names and, to some extent, also incorrect subsequent spellings. In the family-group a total of 28 names are included in the nomenclator, of which 21 are available and seven unavailable names. Of the available names in the family-group, six are invalid for nomenclatural reasons. In the genus-group a total of 57 names are included in the catalogue. Of the available names in the genus-group, 11 are invalid for nomenclatural reasons. In the species-group a total of 499 names are included, of which 463 are available, but 21 are invalid for nomenclatural reasons. All names are given in their original combination and spelling (mandatory changes are discussed and corrected spellings are provided), along with the reference to the original publication. For each family- and genus-group name, the original classification and the type genus or type species, respectively, are given. For species-group taxa the type locality and type horizon (for fossil taxa) are provided, usually as given in the original publication. A new name, Cleopatraadami nom. nov., is proposed for the fossil Cleopatracylindrica (Adam, 1957), which is a homonym of Cleopatracridlandicylindrica Mandahl-Barth, 1954, and a lectotype for Cleopatradubia Adam, 1959 is designated. A new replacement name Leloupiella nom. nov. is proposed for Stormsia Leloup, 1953 which is a homonym of Stormsia Bourguignat, 1891.
Highlights
Not included are, following Glaubrecht (1996), taxa referred to the genus Pyrgulifera Meek, 1877 from Cretaceous deposits of North America and Europe, which have often been associated with thalassoid Paludomidae from Lake Tanganyika or that have sometimes been included in the genus Paludomus Swainson, 1840
In the works of Deshayes (1824–1837), Heer (1861), Morelet (1864), Sandberger (1870–1875), Neumayr (1883), Cossmann (1892, 1902), and Spijkerman et al (2015) several fossils have been described in Paludomus or later attributed to Paludomus, which are not treated here because, in our opinion, they do not belong to the Paludomidae
The present nomenclator is divided into three parts that cover the family group, the genus group and the species group in the sense of the Code, respectively
Summary
The present nomenclator includes only taxa that are, from the current perspective, members of the Paludomidae Stoliczka, 1868 and with at least some degree of plausibility (based on shell morphology, geographical and/or stratigraphical distribution) assignable to this family. The present nomenclator is divided into three parts that cover the family group, the genus group and the species group in the sense of the Code, respectively. All names in these three parts are listed in alphabetical order, except when the same family-, genus- or species-group name was introduced more than once. All other nomenclaturally relevant issues are discussed in the ‘Remarks’ under a name; actions of a First Reviser in the sense of the Code are only discussed in cases where simultaneously published primary homonyms or different spellings of a name in the original publication are involved. Incorrect subsequent spellings are discussed under the respective correctly spelled names whenever these were noticed
