Comments

In the article "Some notes on Wigginsia corynodes", Andreas Hofacker (2012, 4: 26-34) discusses some errors in the work of Albesiano and Kiesling (2009), concerning the rehabilitation of Wigginsia D. M. Porter as a genus distinct from Parodia Spegazzini. One of the major implications for the genus Parodia, in the dissertation by Hofacker, consists of the observation, already highlighted by Albesiano and Kiesling, that Notocactus neoarechavaletae Havlicek, under ICBN Art 52.1, and Parodia neoarechavaletae (Elsner ex Havlicek) D. R. Hunt, are incorrect under ICBN Art. 11.4 because the oldest name available at the same rank to indicate the taxon in question is Echinocactus maldonadensis Herter. To fill the void in Parodia, Hofacker (2012, 4:32) publishes Parodia maldonadensis (Herter) Hofacker, designating a neotype: Heinz Ruoff 107 (FRP). In accordance with the Hofacker’s reason we accept P. maldonadensis. (Quoted from: Anceschi & Magli 2013b, 76)
