Nomenclature Page 636: Although Barnard & Drummond (1976) tried to save Pontharpinia for Urothoe pinguis Haswell, they were too late in getting their plea to ICZN and Gurjanova, ignoring our quest, captured the nomenclature. Stebbing did not have Haswell's species in hand when he established Pontharpinia. He had a species later known as Paraphoxus stebbingi J.L. Barnard (1958) now transferred to Tipimegus. [details]
