Abstract
Abstract The genus Favia Oken, 1815, represents one of the most widely used taxa in scleractinian history but is formally unavailable because vol. 3 (Zoologie) of Oken's (1815) work Lehrbuch der Naturgeschichte, in which the name was first published, was rejected by the ICZN for nomenclatural purposes (Opinion 417, September 1956). De Blainville (1820, p. 293–294) was the first author who used the genus Favia in a valid work. Because no valid type species is available, the species Madrepora fragum Esper, 1795, is therefore designated herein as the type species of Favia. This taxon is chosen from the list of species which are given in de Blainville (1820, p. 293–294). Because both de Blainville (1820) clearly referred to Oken's (1815) work and M. fragum is designated as the type species of Favia, the genus Favia de Blainville, 1820, retains its genus concept sensu Oken.
Favia Oken属,1815年,代表了石骨虫历史上最广泛使用的分类群之一,但正式不可用,因为Oken(1815)的作品Lehrbuch der naturgeschicte的第3卷(Zoologie),其中首次发表了该名称,因命名目的被ICZN拒绝(意见417,1956年9月)。De Blainville (1820, p. 293-294)是第一个在有效的著作中使用Favia属的作者。由于没有有效的模式种,因此本文将Madrepora fragum Esper, 1795定为Favia的模式种。这个分类群选自de Blainville (1820, p. 293-294)给出的种表。由于de Blainville(1820)明确提到了Oken(1815)的工作,而M. fragum被指定为Favia的模式种,因此Favia de Blainville属(1820)保留了其属概念sensu Oken。
