“ Scincus celestinus ”– Duméril & Bibron 1839: 654.
Status. Gymnonym, unavailable name. Identified as Emoia caeruleocauda ( Brown 1991: 77) , this nomen should figure in the synonymy list of Mocoa caeruleocauda De Vis, 1892 , valid as Emoia caeruleocauda ( De Vis, 1892) .
Reference specimens. MNHN-RA-0.2917, 2012.507-508 (formerly 2917A, 2917B).
Geographical origin. Ambon Island.
COMMENT
Duméril & Bibron (1839) mentioned the unpublished name Scincus celestinus . Later Duméril & Duméril (1851: 157) indicated that there are three specimens donated from Museum of Leiden with the name Scincus celestinus in the MNHN collections. These specimens are still in the collections and are in a rather good state of preservation.
– Duméril & Bibron 1839: 654.
Status. Alloneonym (replacement name), for Scincus cyanurus Lesson, 1830 .
Onomatophore. Same as for the replaced nomen. Specimen represented in figure 2 of plate 4 in Lesson (1830a; Fig. 1 View FIG ).
Onymotope. Same as for the replaced nomen. Specimen represented in figure 2 of plate 4 in Lesson (1830a).
REMARK
Duméril & Bibron (1839: 654), Brygoo (1985) and Ineich & Zug (1991) cite Cocteau (1836), Études sur les ScincoÏdes as source for this name.We checked four exemplars of the Études sur les ScincoÏdes of Cocteau where species of skinks have been described in detail. In fact, only the first part of the book, which was intended to have about 20-25 parts, was published before the death of the author ( Anonymous 1838a, b). There is mention of the printing of a second part ( Anonymous 1838b: 257) and we found a copy including the title page of the part mentionning Ire Tribu. Scincoides saurophthalmes. Ire Genre. Scinques. IIe Section. Lépidoglosses conopsides. Ier Groupe. Tiliguas, but neither Tiliqua lessonii nor Tiliqua kienerii are mentioned in the available part. Thus, for the moment there is no indication that these nomina were published by Cocteau under the requirements of the Code. Gabriel Bibron should have received the manuscript ( Anonymous 1838a) but it is not available in the libraries of MNHN.
– Duméril & Bibron 1839: 654.
Status. Poieonym; should figure in the synonymy list of Emoia cyanura (fide Duméril & Bibron 1839: 656).
Onomatophore. Holophoront. Now lost.
Onymotope. Not indicated.
COMMENT
Based on a single faded specimen among the series of specimens from the Paris Museum collection ( Duméril & Bibron 1839: 656). The specimen was not mentioned by Duméril & Duméril (1851) (see also Brygoo 1985). The best choice would be to designate as neophoront the neophoront of Scincus cyanurus to resolve ambiguity. For nomenclatural availability see Comment on the nomen above. As the nomen was published as synonym and not used as valid nomen before 1961, it is not available (Article 11.6).
Emoia pheonura Ineich, 1987: 491 .
Status. Doxisonym (subjective synonym) of Scincus cyanurus Lesson, 1828 ( Brown 1991: 64; Ineich & Zug 1991: 1134).
Onomatophore. Holophoront by original designation MNHN-RA-1987.1301.
Onymotope. French Polynesia, Society Islands, Moorea Island, Opunohu Bay (17.495° S, 149.857° W), on the shore.
