Recently, I published two new spider species in Forests and registered two new species in Zoobank after the paper was published.
However, the World Spider Catalog currently contains the following. https://wsc.nmbe.ch/refincluded/17040
- Jang, C. M., Yoo, J. S., Kim, S. T. & Bae, Y. S. (2023). Rocky area inhabiting daddy long-legs spiders, Pholcus Walckenaer, 1805 (Araneae: Pholcidae) in mountainous mixed forests. Forests 14(538): 1-8. [N.B.: this is an electronic journal and the Zoobank registration is missing, see ICZN Article 8.5.3; therefore the two described species are not valid.] doi:10.3390/f14030538
- Pholcus deokjeok: 3, f. 2a-j (mf, nomen nudum, Zoobank registration in this electronic journal is missing, see ICZN Article 8.5.3)
- Pholcus gangneung: 5, f. 3a-j (mf, nomen nudum, Zoobank registration in this electronic journal is missing, see ICZN Article 8.5.3)
I knew what regulations I violated. Since this journal is an electronic journal, it should have been registered and specified before publication or in publication.
I want to reinstated zoological nomen nudum (invalid name) to be valid. But I don't know the procedure how to solve this.
While writing a simple paper with a list format, I want to know if I register these two new species in Zoobank again, simply present the LSID number (newly registered number, not original), and explain why it became nomen nudum by giving the rev. stat., stat. revalid., or sp. revalid. with species name.
I would greatly appreciate it if someone could let me know if there is anything I can do to make these two species as valid species not a nomen nudum.
I look forward to someone's positive response.
Thanks for reading.
You need to publish the work again. This time do not forget to register the publication in ZooBank if it is an electronic publication. For illustrations, you may refer to the previous publication. The remaining procedure of description should be the same as your previous work. I suggest changing the name of your new taxon as confusion may arise in taxon citation. You should also include a synonym section citing the past taxon name.
Dear Chang-Moon,
You need to publish the descriptions and illustrations in full again and register the new publication in Zoobank, whilst also following all other criteria in the ICZN for electronic publications. Contrary to the above post, you cannot refer to the illustrations in the previous publication because it is not available for the purposes of zoological nomenclature.
Kind Regards,
Danniella Sherwood
