Ah. Apparently this is a difference between the botanical and zoological codes that I wasn't aware of. I'm more familiar with the botanical code, and under the ICBN names (whether new species or only new combinations) aren't valid until published.

I always thought the ICZN was a bit degenerate. It doesn't track authority worth anything, either.
