( Fig. 1)

Calodema annae and C. antonkozlovi were described from isotopotypical specimens (Arfak Mountains, West Papua Indonesia), compared to the same similar species – C. bifasciata According to the ICZN, Art. 23.1. (Statement of (Sainval & Lander, 1993) – mostly remarking the the Principle of Priority), “the valid name of a same differential characters. In addition, Grasso taxon is the oldest available name applied to it, (2020) noticed different sculptures of prosternal unless that name has been invalidated or another process and shoulters, while Pineda & Curletti name is given precedence by any provision of (2020) noticed different body shape and elytral the Code or by any ruling of the Commission”.

Concerning the date that has to be adopted (ICZN, Art. 21.1.), “except as provided in Article 3 [names published before 1758], the date to be adopted as the date of publication of a work and of a contained name or nomenclatural act is to be determined in accordance with the following provisions”.

Thus, according to the ICZN, Art. 21.2. (Date specified), “the date of publication specified in a work is to be adopted as correct in the absence of evidence to the contrary”.

Now, Grasso’s book was printed and published on the 29 th January 2020 (second cover), while the article by Pineda & Curletti was published online on the 31 st January 2020 (footnote).

Though published online, the latter work (describing C. antonkozlovi ) agrees with the ICZN (1999) and the subsequent amendments (ICZN, 2012), since it has been issued after 2011 (ICZN, Art. 8.5.1.), states the date of publication (ICZN, Art. 8.5.2.), was registered in the Official Register of Zoological Nomenclature (ZooBank) and contains evidence in itself that such registration has occurred (Art. 8.5.3.). Unfortunately, it was published two days after the former work (about C. annae ); hence, C. antonkozlovi results to be a junior synonym of C. annae .
