On the Authorship of the Genus-group Name <i>Curtipleon</i> (Crustacea: Tanaidacea: Metapseudidae)

Abstract

The genus-group name Curtipleon Bǎcescu, 1976 is not available due to Bǎcescu's failure to fix its type species in the original publication. This genus-group name should be attributed to Sieg (1983)-the work accidentally validated the genus-group name under Article 13 of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature.
