From editor or global species database
Editor's comment The combination Sthenolepis areolata as used by Huys (2016) . Suárez-Morales et al (2024) comment on the two recombination changes recorded in WoRMS for the original name Leanira areolata McIntosh, 1885. Currently the valid name is Neoleanira areolata following Pettibone (1970). Suárez-Morales et al state that an out-of-date recombination used by Huys (2016) in an article on the Copepoda parasites discovered by McIntosh was likely derived by Huys from WoRMS, where both combinations were present and valid in 2016, but where the more recent Neoleanira areolata combination was not back-linked to McIntosh's original combination. The older recombination as Sthenolepis areolata (originally Leanira areolata) had been the valid name from 1910 up to 1970, a period of 60 years. Huys does not cite WoRMS, and may have been unaware of the WoRMS database as one source of information on recombinations, If he was then the Neoleanira combination was there for him to find. Nevertheless it is correct that which re-combination was the valid one was not up-to-date in 2016 in WoRMS. The data in WoRMS for both names had been imported unchanged from an earlier non-public database. Suárez-Morales et al (2024: 7 of 8) wished to emphasize that Sthenolepis areolata was not the valid name beyond 1970 in order to say that they have added another sigalionid genus (as Sthenolepis sp.) found with a copepod parasite, in addition to the already known Neoleanira, formerly Sthenolepis! However, it is not known if these parasites are specialised as to the genera they live on. It can also be noted that Suárez-Morales et al (2024: 2 of 8) use an incorrect combination themselves instead of Neoleanira areolata. Species names are anchored by their original combinations and author/dates, no matter how many re-combinations are proposed subsequently. [details]
