Message: <blockquote data-quote="mb1848" data-source="post: 3558704" data-attributes="member: 31036">Microscelis amaurotis matchie Momiyama.In 2002 Dickinson and Morioka et al said about the name:  M.D. Bruce (in litt.) kindly advised us that this emendation was authored by Momiyama (1928). HM reports that Momiyama reverted to matchie in later work and the suggested emendation although technically an accurate rendering may have simply been a lapsus.  Momiyami 1928 is Momiyama, T.T., 1928. Twelve forms of Japanese birds.  Annot. Orn. Orient. 1: 419-456..See here on Google Books:<a href="https://books.google.com/books?id=Bc1FAAAAYAAJ&focus=searchwithinvolume&q=matchie" target="_blank">https://books.google.com/books?id=Bc1FAAAAYAAJ&focus=searchwithinvolume&q=matchie</a> .Momiyama uses both spellings on page 430.Dickinson & Morioka et al. in 2005 said something different.  This name was emended to matchiae by Momiyama(1940:44).This emendation is too late to be accepted and does not meet therequirements of Art, 32.5.1,1,(ICZN,l999).Momiyama 1940 is Avifauna hatiziosimensis.  On the resident birds of Hatizyo-zima, southern Seven Islands.  Kagaku-no-Nogyo, 20(3/4): 31-44.The bird was named for Momiyama's Mother and he forgot an 'a'.  Most Mothers are female and any bird named for them should end in ae.  Bjorn has shown that many Doubutsugaku zasshi are online.<a href="http://ci.nii.ac.jp/vol_issue/nels/AN00166645_en.html" target="_blank">http://ci.nii.ac.jp/vol_issue/nels/AN00166645_en.html</a> .But not this one.</blockquote>
