Homo diluvii testis
Homo diluvii testis cant be a synonym of Andrias scheuchzeri, since Scheuchzer identified the remains as belonging to a man. The expression Homo diluvii testis (The man who was witness of the Deluge) is just the title of the book, which must be taken as if it were the headline of a newspaper news, not as a taxonomic identification.

On the other hand, there cant be synonyms (or species names) prior to 1758, date of the publication of the tenth edition of the work of Linnaeus Systema Naturae, origin of modern zoological nomenclature. --PePeEfe (talk) 18:11, 13 April 2018 (UTC)
