Article 59 and Names of Perfect State Taxa in Imperfect State Genera

Summary Consideration is given to the several possible ways of treating the names of perfect states placed in imperfect state genera when original descriptions included either both states or the perfect state alone. A proposal is presented to cover this situation by the addition of a further paragraph and examples to Art. 59. The need for some clarification of Articles 34 and 72 in relation to their bearings on Art. 59 are pointed out and two proposals made to resolve existing anomalies.
