case
A rather complex nomenclatural situation concerns ten zoological generic nomina, in three different zoological groups (
HYMENOPTERA
,
ORTHOPTERA
,
ANURA
), which are connected by homonymy and neonymy (relationship between new replacement nomina or
neonyms
and the nomina they replaced or
archaeonyms
; see
Dubois 2000
,
2006
). They are presented below in the chronological order of their publication. For each of them, two websites, namely the online version of the
Nomenclator Zoologicus
[http://uio.mbl.edu/NomenclatorZoologicus/] and
Zoobank
[http://zoobank.org/], were surveyed in order to see whether and which, if any, information was provided about it on
