The checklist for new zoological genus and species names is published
A little over a month ago, I announced that DRAFT v4 of the the checklist for new zoological genus and species names, incorporating information about electronic publication, was available for critique. Perhaps surprisingly, there were no comments (in contrast to the 127 comments on DRAFT v3). So I have gone ahead and published the checklist. You are free to use this in your own work. If you want to cite it, I recommend:
