Tityus fuehrmanni : Fet & Lowe 2000: 246 . Unjustified emendation (objective junior synonym). Fet & Lowe (2000) emended the original spelling, invoking that Art. 32.d.i.2. of the 3 rd edition (32.5.2.1. in the current edition) states that names of German origin bearing an 'umlaut' (ä, ö, ü), if used unchanged before 1985 as part of a scientific name, are to be corrected by replacing the vowel by a diphtong (ae, oe, ue). This does not apply in this case, since the personal name (O. Fuhrmann) has no umlaut. The emendation proposed by Fet & Lowe (2000) is unjustified and falls in objective synonymy.
