Abstract
Abstract. The purpose of this application, under Article 75.5 of the Code, is to conserve the usage of the name Mastodon waringi Holland, 1920, for a species of extinct South American proboscidean, by designating a neotype. Because M. waringi has had long and wide (though incorrect) usage as a species of Haplomastodon, and because the holotype of M. waringi is undiagnostic, the neotype designation is proposed to promote stability of nomenclature.
