Can anyone explain why Chauna torquata is being used? It is in Zoonomen and IOC.
Chauna torquata (Oken) 1816 LehrbuchNaturgesch. pt3 sec.2 p.639.
But Opinion 417 from 1956 makes Oken Lehrbuch 1816 V. III Zoology names unavailable.

I saw elsewhere The species generally known as Chauna cristata Swainson requires another name since Palamedea cristata Swainson is preoccupied by Palamedea cristata Linn. The species should stand as Chauna torquata Oken as this name is long anterior to that proposed by Swainson. Chaja torquata Oken Lerhbuch der naturgesch., III Zool. Abth 1816 page 639.
