Hi All, Several people have pointed out to me that the genus Eremophila used by Ahlström et al. may be preoccupied. In relation to Neave’s Nomenclator Zoologicus, Eremophila Boie,1828, is the earliest use of that name as a zooloigcal name.I’ve been trying to find out the origins of Eremophila as a botanical name, but have been unable to do so. Can anyone enlighten me on this matter?

Hi Friends, I had a look at the ICZN rules, and Art 1.4 says “Zoological nomenclature is independent of other systems of nomenclature in that the name of an animal taxon is not to rejected merely because it is identical with the name of a taxom that is not an animal. “So Eremophila Boie,1828 is the ealirest use of this name in relation to zooloogtical names.

Article 52.7 of the ICZN Code reads as follows: “Homonymy with names of taxa which are not animals. The name of an animal taxon identical with the name of a taxon which has never been treated as animal is not a homonym for the purposes of zoological nomenclature.” So – in short – it doesn’t matter if that name was applied to a plant before a bird, the bird can keep that name.

Hi John The genus was first formally described in 1810 by the botanist Robert Brownin *Prodromus Florae Novae Hollandiae *.[4] *Eremophila* is derived from the Greek words *eremos* (desert) and *phileo *(love), alluding to the species’ adaptation to arid environments.
