Editor's comment Czerniavsky's (1881) description of P. mirabilis suggests that he may not have been describing a Protodrilus sensu Hatschek and later authors. Hence, although the name is the same, relative priority of Hatschek or Czerniavsky becomes important. [details]
Homonymy Czerniavsky presented the first part of his Black Sea Vermes report to a society meeting in October 1880 and it seems certain it was not published until 1881. Protodrilus Hatschek could have been published in 1880, but more likely did not appear until 1881, the date (title page) the journal volume was completed. Hatschek's work appears early in the volume, but the work is not obviously divided into parts (which would make it more likely the date could be 1880). Zoological Record has Hatschek 1880 in the zoo rec volume for 1880, whereas Czerniavsky 1881 appears in the zoo rec volume for 1881. However, Nomenclator Zoologicus (compiled much later) for reasons unknown gives priority to Czerniavsky as published 1880. As the direct evidence does not reject Hatschek's name as senior, required stability of Protodrilus as a concept should remain unaffected, without further action necessary, unless new information can be found on the respective months of publication. The authors (or at least Hatschek) appear to remain unaware of each others work.[G. Read, December 2013] [details]
