Thank you, that clears up a few things, but I am still unsure of certain aspects.

I do not have any experience in the field, and cannot comment on field research, and I am not capable (yet) of writing my own reports. However, if I revised A.Tokar's paper on Eryx jaculus, who should I send it to? And who would be the 'moderators'? Also, if those particular people disagreed, does it make my report wrong?

Also, if somebody revise's a particular taxon, when does it actually become valid?

For example, Candoia carinata sp. has been broken down into 10 different subspecies of Candoia carinata, and Candoia paulsoni. According to the last report anyway. However, nobody appears to be using the new names, and I have not even seen these listed on the highest of authorites boards, such as CITES etc..

Regards
Chris Jones
