Abstract: The question whether taxonomic descriptions naming new animal species without type specimen(s) deposited in collections should be accepted for publication by scientific journals and allowed by the Code has already been discussed in Zootaxa (Dubois & Nemésio 2007 Donegan 2008, 2009 Nemésio 2009a–b Dubois 2009 Gentile & Snell 2009 Minelli 2009 Cianferoni & Bartolozzi 2016 Amorim et al. 2016). This question was again raised in a letter supported by 35 signatories published in the journal Nature (Pape et al. 2016) on 15 September 2016. On 25 September 2016, the following rebuttal (strictly limited to 300 words as per the editorial rules of Nature) was submitted to Nature, which on 18 October 2016 refused to publish it. As we think this problem is a very important one for zoological taxonomy, this text is published here exactly as submitted to Nature, followed by the list of the 493 taxonomists and collection-based researchers who signed it in the short time span from 20 September to 6 October 2016.

Abstract: A catalogue of Eumeninae occurring in Australia is presented. The genus Lissodynerus Giordani Soika is synonymized with Pararrhynchium de Saussure. Species placed in the genus Pseudepipona de Saussure, by Giordani Soika and Borsato are transferred to Euodynerus Dalla Torre, and species placed in the genus Syneuodynerus Blüthgen, by Giordani Soika are transferred to Stenodyneriellus Giordani Soika. New combinations are Anterhynchium decoratum (de Saussure), A. tamarinum inviolatum (Giordani Soika), Australodynerus flavoniger (Giordani Soika), Deuterodiscoelius confusus (Giordani Soika), D. ephippium (de Saussure), D. insignis (de Saussure), D. spinosus (de Saussure), Euodynerus aborigenus (Borsato), E. alaris (de Saussure), E. angulatus alexandriae (Giordani Soika), E. angulatus angulatus (de Saussure), E. aspra (Giordani Soika), E. clypalaris (Giordani Soika), E. flavus (Giordani Soika), E. pallidus (Giordani Soika), E. succinctus purgatus(Giordani Soika), E. succinctus succinctus (de Saussure), Pararrhynchium desaussurei (Borsato), P. kurandensis (Giordani Soika), Pseudalastor aurantiacus (Borsato), P. pecularis (Borsato), Stenodyneriellus aurantiacus (Giordani Soika), S. aurantiopilosella (Giordani Soika), S. cylindrellus (Giordani Soika), S. longebispinosa (Giordani Soika) and S. occidentatus (Giordani Soika). Revised combinations are Australodynerus yanchepensis nigrithorax Giordani Soika and A. yanchepensis yanchepensis Giordani Soika, which are returned to that genus. Other new synonymies are Anterhynchium tamarinum septentrionale Giordani Soika = Anterhynchium tamarinum tamarinum (de Saussure), Ischnocoelia robusta analis Giordani Soika = I. robusta robusta (Meade-Waldo), Pseudabispa bicolor flavescentula (Giordani Soika) = P bicolor bicolor (de Saussure), Pseudalastor tridentatus septentrionalis Giordani Soika = P. tridentatus tridentatus Giordani Soika and Rhynchium australense Perkins = R. magnificum Smith.
