Spelling Three different spellings were used in d'Orbigny (1826), it appears that Uvigerina pigmea (p. 269), pygmea (p. 310 and Atlas), and pygmaea (p. 466).
This situation is solved by the ICZN in the following articles:
32.2.1. If a name is spelled in more than one way in the work in which it was established, then, except as provided otherwise in this Article, the correct original spelling is that chosen by the First Reviser [Art. 24.2.3] (or, if applicable, by an original author when acting as First Reviser [Art. 24.2.4]).
and
24.2.4. Original authors may be deemed to be First Revisers of spellings. When the author, or one of joint authors, of two different original spellings of the same name subsequently uses one of them as valid in a work (including the author's or publisher's corrigenda), and neither had previously been selected as the correct spelling by a First Reviser, the author is deemed to be the First Reviser, whether or not the author cites both spellings together (that used as valid becomes the correct original spelling).
and
D'Orbigny (1846) used Uvigerina pygmaea acting as the First Reviser. None of the earlier publications of U. pygmaea can be treated as a First revision:
- Deshayes (1832, vol. 3, p. 1105) as Uvigerina pygmea
- Geinitz (1846, p. 672) as Uvigerina pygmaea
