Rallus nanus Alcover, Pieper, Pereira and Rando, nomen novum
Description
Consequently, Rallus minutus has been used previously at least three times, with different meaning, two as invalid junior homonyms, and all are synonyms of other taxa: Rallus minutus Gmelin 1789 [= Hapalocrex flaviventer (Boddaert 1783)], Rallus minutus Pallas 1811 [= Zapornia pusilla (Pallas, 1776)], Rallus minutus JR Forster 1844 [= Zapornia tabuensis (JF Gmelin 1789)], and thus is an unavailable name. We thus propose a new name for the rail from São Jorge: Rallus nanus Alcover, Pieper, Pereira and Rando, nomen novum
replacement name for Rallus minutus Alcover, Pieper, Pereira and Rando 2015, non Rallus minutus JF Gmelin 1789, non Rallus minutus Pallas 1811, non Rallus minutus JR Forster 1844
Etymology— latin name for dwarf.
