Early classifications new nomina availability taxonomic allocation amphibians reptiles 1760 Klein Arnault de Nobleville Salerne chelonians Testudinata Chelonii Testudines

Abstract

This paper presents the analysis of two works by three authors (Klein, Arnault de Nobleville & Salerne), and a translator and adaptator (Behn), published in 1760, that contain classifications of amphibians and reptiles. The nomenclatural status of the herpetological nomina in these works, particularly regarding their availability and taxonomic allocation, is clarified. The discovery that the nomen Testudinata Klein, 1760 is available and has priority over all other class-series nomina proposed for the chelonians is highlighted and discussed.
