Early classifications new nomina availability taxonomic allocation amphibians reptiles 1758 Linnaeus Borlase Gesnerus Roesel von Rosenhof Vogel

Abstract

This paper presents the analysis of six works by five authors (Linnaeus, Borlase, Gesnerus, Roesel von Rosenhof and Vogel) published in 1758 that contain classifications of amphibians and reptiles. The nomenclatural status of the herpetological nomina in these works, particularly regarding their availability and taxonomic allocation, is clarified.
