Description
Summary:We have tested the revised version of the "Discussion Draft of the Fourth Edition of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature" proposed by the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature without prejudice. We are nine entomologists, all concerned with Taxonomy and Nomenclature, some of us being leading specialists since decades. Following thorough and objective discussions we conclude unisonously that several of these articles nourish destabilization and are thus not acceptable. Finally, we would like to ask a question which has been raised by several zoologists recently but which, to our knowledge, has not been answered satisfactorily. Did the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature ever think about a consultation of professional jurists?
