Gekko ulikovski has been synominized with Gekko badenii

[Riverside Reptiles]

Just an FYI for those of you who keep up on taxonomy, it seems that Gekko ulikovski has been synominized with Gekko badenii. I have the papers but haven't read through them yet.

Damn taxonomy. Can't they just sequence the genome, then decide on a name and let it stick.

[SUP][/SUP]Hey guys, that has been published by Wolfgang Böhme and team 3 years ago.
A little late to come across as a "news" story, isn´t it?
G. badenii is the older and thus valid name.

So it's badenii, not ulikovski anymore, correct?

I'm not a big taxonomy person. Someone posted it and sent me the papers. So I figured I'd pass along the info. As I said, I haven't even had a chance to look at the papers yet. Old news, new news...it doesn't really matter if it's something new to someone.

Yes, ulikovskii is not a valid name, the animals have to be called Gekko badenii.
The funny thing about that is that I wanted to get some badenii ever since they hav been described and only after that pblication found out that I was already breeding them snce years
