Talk:Sphaerotholus

Sphaerotholus taxonomy
There are 3 species of Sphaerotholus goodwini, S. edmontonensis (incl. S. bucholtzae), and S. brevis. The synonymy of bucholtzae with edmontonensis is based on Robert Sullivan's conclusion that the holotype of S. bucholtzae is identical to that of S. edmontonensis.


 * Then we have to establish who first published the combinatio nova Sphaerotholus edmontonensis and we need a reliable source explicitly stating that this is the name of a valid species.--MWAK (talk) 08:50, 17 October 2015 (UTC)
 * I see its validity is based on Longrich (2010). Still needs a date for a possible emendation though :o).--MWAK (talk) 09:07, 17 October 2015 (UTC)
