Abstract. The International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature has used its plenary power to suppress the generic name Colonychus Harold, 1868, a subjective senior synonym of Streblopus Lansberge, 1874, although no type species has been designated, to conserve and give precedence to the generic name Streblopus Lansberge, 1874, type species Streblopus opatroides Lansberge, 1874.

Abstract. The authorship of the sauropod dinosaur genus Astrodon is frequently cited as Johnston, 1859, and its type species Astrodon johnstoni is usually cited as Leidy, 1865. Although Johnston's publication does satisfy the Code's requirements for published work, the lack of description means it does not satisfy the criteria of availability in Article 12 for names published before 1931. Astrodon was a nomen nudum until it was made available by Leidy in his subsequent description of the nominal genus with its single new nominal species. The correct authorship of both the genus Astrodon and its type species Astrodon johnstoni is therefore Leidy, 1865.

Abstract. The kākāpō was named Strigops habroptilus by G.R. Gray in 1845. However, in recent decades authorities have begun to recommend habroptila as the correct species name through mistaken interpretation of gender agreement rules. Here, we explain that habroptilus remains the valid species name through correct application of the articles in the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature.

Abstract. The International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature has used its plenary power to conserve the usage of the name Allosaurus Marsh, 1877, by designating specimen USNM 4734 as the neotype to replace the nondiagnostic holotype (YPM 1930) of Allosaurus fragilis Marsh, 1877. In their comment supporting Case 3506, Loewen & Chure (2010) specified the skeletal elements (attributable to a single individual) that should constitute the neotype.
