Abstract
The historically important mosasaur fossil (known as ‘le grand animal fossile des carrières de Maestricht’) has been known as Mosasaurus hoffmanni for almost two centuries now. Recently, it has been proposed to amend the spelling of the species name, by adding a second ‘i’ to the species epithet. We present historical evidence to the contrary, and recommend, following article 33.2.3.1 of the ICZN, to retain the specific epithet hoffmanni.
具有重要历史意义的沧龙化石（被称为 "le grand animal fossile des carrières de Maestricht"）被称为沧龙霍夫曼尼（Mosasaurus hoffmanni）已有近两个世纪的历史。最近，有人提议修改该物种名称的拼写，在该物种的名称前加上第二个 "i"。我们提出了与此相反的历史证据，并建议按照《国际自然与自然资源保护公约》第 33.2.3.1 条的规定，保留 hoffmanni 这一特定名称。
