| dc.description | <P>Pellegrin rejected the validity of <I>Monostichodus elongatus</I>, described by Vaillant and type species of the genus <I>Monostichodus</I>, based on the lack of a proper species description, and redescribed Vaillant's specimens as <I>Hemistichodus vaillanti</I>. After review of the relevant articles in the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, however, no arguments were found to consider <I>M. elongatus</I> as a <I>nomen nudum</I>. This implies that <I>Hemistichodus</I> should be considered as a junior synonym of the genus <I>Monostichodus</I>, which includes three valid species: <I>M. elongatus</I> (with <I>Hemistichodus vaillanti</I> as a junior synonym), <I>M. mesmaekersi</I> and <I>M. lootensi</I>. | |
