Following the publication of the original article, Prado et al. 2022 [1], authors reported that since the amendments to the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN) [2] dealing with registration of nomenclatural acts in The Official Registry of Zoological Nomenclature (ZooBank) [3], in article 8 of the online electronic ICZN (https://www.iczn.org/the-code/the-code-online/), new requirements were made for availability of nomenclatural acts published in exclusively electronic journals. Those new demands led to an increasing need for errata and addenda works intended solely to meet these new ICZN´s requirements and avoid the unavailability of proposed nomenclatural acts on legitimate, original taxonomic works (ex. [4, 5]). Relevant questions have been raised about the easiness or the advisability of declaring unavailable or suppress nomenclatural acts of bona fide contemporary works on zoological taxonomy (ex. [6]), on the grounds that those procedures would hamper taxonomical progress and that they are “deeply intrusive into the intellectual freedom of scientific work”. Those questions would be better left to acceptance or not by the scientific community. Anyway, the amendments to article 8 of ICZN are mandatory and should currently be followed by all zoologists proposing nomenclatural changes...
