Re: paleonet Synonymy list -non notation in Berggren 1997

["Robert Huber" <robert.huber@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Daniela!

 

Quite confusing ;)

 

I see now that later in his synonym list there is another entry:

 

non Globigerina fringa SUBBOTINA 1950 ....

 

So the (non SUBBOTINA) before refers to that? Is that all?

 

best regards,

 

Robert

Dear all,

While reading the extensive synonymy lists in Berggrens
'micropaleontology' publication (1), I noticed several
times a notation I don't understand.
It is the use of a "non" followed by a Author name,
often in Brackets after the synonym list entry e.g.:

non implies that Berggren thinks that people who have illustrated the species somewhere have been wrong, i.e. emphasising that this synonymy is wrong.

in this example
Berggren accepts the illustrations in Luterbacher and Premoli Silva 1964 to be Globigerina cf. fringa,
whereas the original by Subbotina is not the species Globigerina cf.fringa but something else.
