Abstract

Abstract. The purpose of this application, under Articles 23.9.3 and 81.1 of the Code, is to conserve the usage of the species-group name Simopithecus oswaldi Andrews, 1916 by giving it precedence over its senior subjective synonym Cynocephalus atlanticus Thomas, 1884. Theropithecus is a common to dominant member of the extinct primate community across Africa after 4 million years ago (Jablonski & Frost, 2010) and often co-occurred with extinct humans (Hominini); fossils are also known rarely across Eurasia (Roberts et al., 2014). Most fossil samples are currently included in Theropithecus oswaldi (Andrews, 1916), which is often divided into chrono-geographic subspecies. Cynocephalus atlanticus Thomas, 1884 was not recognized as a member of Theropithecus until 1973, and this nomen has seldom been used, but if it were shown (as seems likely) to be conspecific with Simopithecus oswaldi Andrews, 1916, widespread paleontological usage would be upset. It is thus proposed to give conditional precedence to the later name, which would still permit the use of Theropithecus atlanticus as a distinct species or subspecies of Theropithecus oswaldi. Lectotypes are designated for Simopithecus oswaldi olduvaiensis Leakey & Whitworth, 1958 and Simopithecus oswaldi hopefieldensis Singer, 1962.
案例3847 -奥斯瓦尔迪西古猿,1916年(现为奥斯瓦尔迪西古猿;哺乳动物,灵长类动物,尾猿科),与Cynocephalus atlanticus, Thomas, 1884
摘要根据《法典》第23.9.3条和81.1条,本申请的目的是保护1916年Simopithecus oswaldi Andrews物种群名称的使用,使其优先于其1884年的高级主观同义词Cynocephalus atlanticus Thomas。兽猿是400万年前在非洲灭绝的灵长类群落中常见的优势成员(Jablonski & Frost, 2010),并且经常与灭绝的人类(人猿)共存;在欧亚大陆也很少发现化石(Roberts et al., 2014)。目前大多数化石样本都属于奥斯瓦尔迪兽猿(Theropithecus oswaldi, Andrews, 1916),通常按时间地理划分为亚种。直到1973年,1884年的Cynocephalus atlanticus Thomas才被认为是兽猿的一个成员,而且这个人很少被使用,但如果它被证明(看起来很可能)与1916年的Simopithecus oswaldi Andrews是同一物种,那么广泛的古生物学使用将会被打乱。因此,有人建议有条件地优先使用后一种名称,这仍然允许使用大西洋蜥古猿作为奥斯瓦尔迪蜥古猿的一个独特的物种或亚种。Leakey & Whitworth(1958年)和Singer(1962年)分别指定了奥斯瓦尔迪古猿猴和奥斯瓦尔迪古猿猴的选型。
