Rubus mammuthicus Doweld
status

nom. nov.

Rubus mammuthicus Doweld , nom. nov.

Replaced name:— Rubus decipiens Nikitin (1976: 182) , nom. illeg. non Rubus decipiens Müller (1859: 158) nec Rubus decipiens Foerster

(1878: 166), nom. illeg. ( McNeill et al. 2012, Art. 53.1).

Type:—51/2 (Novosibirskgeologija, Novosibirsk, Russian Federation) – figured by Nikitin (1976: pl. 69, fig. 13).

Geography:—Mamontova Gora (= Mammuth Hill), Aldan river, Yakutia (Sakha) Republic, Russian Federation.

Stratigraphy:—Miocene.

Status:—Fruits.

Eponymy:—From the famous locus classicus of plant fossils (Mamontova Gora [Mammuth Hill]) in Siberia named after extinct mammoths ( Mammuthus Brookes 1828: 73 , 74).

IFPNI registration record:— 9B5AD826-3F36-45D2-B18C-7F93C54FF013.

Note:—The fossil-species was established based on fossil fruits from Miocene sediments of Siberia (Mamontova Gora [= Mammuth Hill]), Aldan river, Yakutia (Sakha) Republic, Russian Federation). However, the fossil-species is a later homonym of Rubus decipiens Müller (1859: 158) and Rubus decipiens Foerster (1878: 166) , nom. illeg.; therefore, a new replacement name for the fossil-species is proposed here.
