Dear Robert,

What I mean is that most entomologists will summarize a taxonomic treatment like:

Eupogodon spinellus (C.Agardh 1827)
Dasya spinella C.Agardh 1827
= Dasyopsis spinella (C.Agardh 1827)
= Dasya cervicornis J.Agardh 1841
= Dasyopsis cervicornis (J.Agardh 1841)
= Eupogodon cervicornis (J.Agardh 1841)
= Gigartina flabellata Schousboe 1892
= Larnacea flabellata (Schousboe 1892)
= Eupogodon flabellatus (Schousboe 1892)

Dasya acanthophora Montagne 1840
Rodonema spinella Naccari 1828
Eupogonium spinellum Kützing 1879

--------

....in either this way:

Eupogodon Kützing 1845
= Dasyopsis Zanardini 1843

Eupogodon spinellus (C.Agardh 1827) - originally in Dasya
= cervicornis J.Agardh 1841 - originally in Dasya
= flabellata Schousboe 1892 - originally in Gigartina


....or this way:

Eupogodon Kützing
= Dasyopsis Zanardini

Eupogodon spinellus (C.Agardh)
Dasya spinella C.Agardh
= Dasya cervicornis J.Agardh 1841
= Gigartina flabellata Schousboe 1892


And when some generic names are frequently associated with certain species-group names within a genus also:

Eupogodon Kützing
= Dasyopsis Zanardini
= Gigartina  auct.
= Larnacea  auct.

Eupogodon spinellus (C.Agardh)
Dasya spinella C.Agardh
= Dasya cervicornis J.Agardh 1841
= Gigartina flabellata Schousboe 1892


Kind regards,

Yde





Dear Yde,

I have to check if the TCS can deal with objective synonymy in a zoological sense. Species2000 for instance can't not deal either with objective synonymy nor with basionyms and is therefore missing a crucial part of information.

Just asking: What exactly do you mean with 'objectice sysnonymy in
zoological sense' ?
