The Valkerella - Walkerella - Walkerana case

A rather complex nomenclatural situation concerns ten zoological generic nomina, in three different zoological groups ( HYMENOPTERA , ORTHOPTERA , ANURA ), which are connected by homonymy and neonymy (relationship between new replacement nomina or neonyms and the nomina they replaced or archaeonyms; see Dubois 2000, 2006). They are presented below in the chronological order of their publication. For each of them, two websites, namely the online version of the Nomenclator Zoologicus [http://uio.mbl.edu/NomenclatorZoologicus/] and Zoobank [http://zoobank.org/], were surveyed in order to see whether and which, if any, information was provided about it on 5 October 2016.
