. Unjustified emendation (junior objective synonym).
As in the former case, Sissom (2000) believed that the species name should be emended to form a plural genitive. But since the names 'Raymond' and 'Hans' refer to different persons, they cannot be combined with the suffix –
orum
. The original name is to be restored, at best regarded as an arbitrary construct;
Chactas raymondhansorum
Sissom 2000
thus becomes an objective synonym.
