Note 1 of Rule 24a of the International Code of Nomenclature of Bacteria can be interpreted in an ambiguous fashion, because the wording is not sufficiently clear
Rule 24a of the International Code of Nomenclature of Bacteria (Lapage et al, 1992) states: ‘Valid publication of names which are in accordance with the Rules of this Code dates from the date of publication of the Code
In a number of cases, confusion has arisen because a small number of names that were published in the IJSB between 1 January 1978 and 1 January 1980 were not included on the Approved Lists of Bacterial Names
Summary
Note 1 of Rule 24a of the International Code of Nomenclature of Bacteria can be interpreted in an ambiguous fashion, because the wording is not sufficiently clear. Those names validly published prior to 1 January 1980 but not included in the Approved Lists have no further standing in nomenclature.
