Platyhypnidion rusciformis Philippi 1956 nom. conserv. propos.
pla03 | The retroactive change to be introduced in the upcoming new version of the ICPN will have the consequence, that the Rhynchostegion riparioidis von Krusenstjerna 1945 will become validly published and would hence replace the younger name Platyhypnidion rusciformis Philippi 1956. However, we intend to propose the conservation of the well-established and accepted name Platyhypnidion rusciformis Philippi 1956 against the Rhynchostegion riparioidis von Krusenstjerna 1945, that, according to the ICPN 3, had been considered as invalid and therefore has not been applied in the past.
