[QUOTE="l_raty, post: 3290775, member: 24811"] Fraktur is but a typeface of the Latin alphabet, and I know of nothing in the Code that would make a name proposed in any particular typeface invalid for this reason. (However, a name that could be inferred to be vernacular might presumably be interpreted as not having been used as a valid scientific name, making it unavailable. Here, Wagler [or his editor...?] made a rather confusing mixed use of Gothic and Roman scripts, apparently sticking to Gothic in the text even for scientific names, but using Roman wherever a name appeared in parentheses. Possibly all the Gothic script in this work was interpreted as being "German"...?) incidentally, this does not seem to be the only "unrecorded" name in this text. On the [URL="https://books.google.com/books?id=uUdEAAAAcAAJ&pg=PA469"]previous page[/URL], you can read (all Fraktur as well): [INDENT][FONT="Fraktur"]Ganz vorzüglich interessirte mich eine neue Vogelsippe, welche in Südamerika die dort fehlende Sippe Colaris [FONT="Arial"](Cuv.)[/FONT] zu repräsentiren scheint.
