If someone decides to revise a particular taxon, they write a paper....then...

firstly how does it get published? Who do they have to go to? What happens then, does it get reviewed or just deemed correct??

If a paper is published and is released, does it make it right? What about the papers before that?

For example, A.Tokar was the last person to write a paper on Eryx jaculus. I wholeheartedly disagee with him, and I feel he has not looked at the specimens from such a broad range. I currently keep several jaculus sp. of differing ranges, and at a minimum they deserve subspecies recognition, if not full species. So....does it make it right?

Any thoughts welcome.

Chris Jones
