Bulletin of Zoological Nomenclature 47(2) June 1990 143 OPINION 1588 Hapalorhynchus beadlei Goodman, 1987 (Trematoda, Digenea): holotype replaced by a lectotype Ruling (1) Under the plenary powers the holotype of Hapalorhynchus beadlei Goodman, 1987 is hereby set aside. (2) The specimen illustrated in Fig. 1 ofGoodman (1987) is hereby designated as the lectotype of Hapalorhynchus beadlei, with the type locality 'near Kampala, Uganda' and the host 'Pelusios sp.'. (3) The name beadlei Goodman, 1987, as published in the binomen Hapalorhynchus beadlei and as defined by the lectotype designated in (2) above, is hereby placed on the Official List of Specific Names in Zoology. History of Case 2653 An application for the replacement of the holotype by a lectotype of Hapalorhynchus beadlei Goodman, 1987 was received from Dr T.R. Piatt {Saint Mary's College, Notre Dame, Indiana, U.S.A.) on 6 April 1988. After correspondence the case was published in BZN 45: 258-259 (December 1988). Notice of the case was sent to appropriate journals. No comments were received. It was noted on the voting papers that the application had the support of Dr J.D. Goodman, the author of//, beadlei. Decision of the Commission On 1 December 1989 the members of the Commission were invited to vote on the proposals published in BZN 45: 258-259. At the close of the voting period on 1 March 1990 the votes were as follows: Affirmative votes — 24: Bayer, Bock, Cocks, Cogger, Coriiss, Dupuis, Hahn, Halvorsen, Heppell, Holthuis, Kabata, Lehtinen (in part), Macpherson, Martins de Souza, Minelli, Mroczkowski, Nielsen, Nye, Ride, Savage, Schuster, Thompson, Ueno, Willink Negative votes — 2: Kraus and Mahnert. No votes were received from Starobogatov and Trjapitzin. Kraus considered that the taxonomic status of Hapalorhynchus beadlei was at present too confused to warrant action by the Commission. Two members of the Commission suggested that the proposed type specimen could be a neotype but not a lectotype, since a holotype had been designated previously. This is not the case, how-ever, since the Commission has, using its plenary powers, set aside the previous holotype (which differed from the published description and figure of//, beadlei). Original reference The following is the original reference to the name placed on an Official List by the ruling given in the present Opinion: beadlei, Hapalorhynchus, Goodman, 1987, Transactions of the American Microscopical Society, 106: 80.
