Discussion: For authorship of this name, see the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature (1988). Watson et al. (2001:315) used the name Homo niger, on the grounds that Homo troglodytes would be a secondary homonym of Homo troglodytes Linnaeus, 1758 (= Homo sapiens); but the new edition of the Code (in force since January 1 st, 2000) permits a senior homonym to be rejected if unused since 1899 (Art. 23.9.), so Homo troglodytes would be an acceptable combination for the chimpanzee. The species has been most recently reviewed by Jones et al. (1996).
