10.25.16 Oxynoemacheilus frenatus (Heckel, 1843)
Cobitis frenata Heckel, 1843: 1086, pl. 12 fig. 1 (type locality:
Iraq: Tigris River at Mossul; syntypes: NMW 48552
[5], ? NRM 15477 [1]; invalid lectotype designation by
Nalbant & Bianco, 1999: 112; adjective, -us, -a, -um)
Nemachilus frenatus afrenatus Battalgil, 1941: 183 (type
locality: Turkey: Diyarbakir [Tigris drainage; 37°55'N
40°14'E]; syntypes: LU; adjective, -us, -a, -um)
Nomenclatural notes. Nalbant & Bianco (1999: 112) wrote:
"A lectotype has been selected from type material of this
species [B. frenata] (Type locality: Mosul), housed in NMW,
examined by one of us (TN). The lectotype corresponds to
the description and the illustration given by Heckel (1843)".
No information is provided that allows to identify this 'lectotype'
among the syntypes and, therefore, the designation is
not valid. The Code art. 74.5 requires that a lectotype must
be "a particular syntype" "unambiguously selected".
10.25.17 Oxynoemacheilus galilaeus (Günther, 1864)
Cobitis galilaea Günther, 1864: 493 (type locality: Israel:
Lake of Galilee [Lake Kinneret]; holotype: BMNH
1863.11.3.8; adjective -us, -a, -um)
Nomenclatural notes. The word galilaea can be either the
nominative singular of the noun Galilaea or the nominative
singular feminine of the adjective galilaeus. Günther (1864)
did not indicate whether the word was treated as a noun or
an adjective and, under a blind application of Code art. 31.2.2,
galilaea should then be treated as a noun in apposition and
be invariable. But, art. 31.2.2 says "where it may be regarded
as either and the evidence of usage is not decisive". While
galilaea could be regarded grammatically as either noun or
adjective, the usage (syntax and meaning) shows it is an adjective.
For an author of that period, it would have been
awkard to use the noun Galilaea in the nominative in apposition
(C. galilaea would then translate as 'Galilee-loach'); he
would have used the genitive (C. galilaeae, which would
translate as 'loach of Galilee') or the adjective (C. galilaea
would then translate as 'Galilean loach'). The last option
would have been the best, and from external evidence we
know that Günther later (1868: 355) treated the name as an
adjective when he transferred the species to Nemacheilus
("Nemachilus galilaeus"). Therefore the name is treated here
as an adjective.
