Abstract:
When a genus (plural genera) contains more than one species, those species should be each other’s closest relatives. That way classifications make sense and reflect our best
understanding of evolutionary history. A recent study of DNA sequences in honeyeaters made the case that the 20 species that made up one such genus of Australian honeyeaters, Lichenostomus, were not all each other’s closest relatives. So Lichenostomus needed to be broken up into smaller genera. Older names were available for all but one of the resultant genera and a totally new name was needed for that genus. We chose the name Bolemoreus, which commemorated the work of two of Australia’s leading ornithologists. There are very strict guidelines for describing new names like this. Some of the guidelines are rules. If they aren’t followed, then the name is not available. Others are recommendations. We followed the rules but inadvertently didn't follow one of the recommendations. So this article is simply setting the record straight.
I would like to know what recommendation was not followed??

Recommendation 16A:
To avoid uncertainty about their intentions, authors proposing new names (nomina nova), including new replacement names, are advised to make their intentions implicit by using in headings, or at the first use of new names in proposals, appropriate abbreviations of Latin terms....The abbreviation 'nom. nov.' should only be used to indicate a new replacement name.

The used nom. nov. instead of gen. nov. in the original paper.

Drats, my version of Word won't load the S1 figure from the supp info. Anyone able to convent to pdf, or provide a screencap saved in an older Word version? :(

Interesting that my first attempt to connect to the ResearchGate site produced an overlaid (and impassable) request to open an account. I followed the account instructions, breathlessly awaited an e-mailed response, but I was rejected. More in hope than in expectation, I clicked on the above 'pdf' some hours later, and got straight through to download the PDF effortlessly!

Mike, even where ResearchGate offers open access to full-text (as in this case), a membership application window is (irritatingly!) displayed on the first access attempt. Just close it and continue...

Is there any evidence to support moving the Melionyx group (princeps/nouhuysi/fuscus) into Vosea?

Unless I've missed something, neither Joseph (2014) or Andersen (2013) seem to suggest this...

According to HBW 13, p. 502, this group was suggested to have affinities with whitemanensis by "Diamond"--which may (or not) refer to one of seven works, by two distinct authors, listed on p. 580...
