Dilemma of name-recognition: Why and whento use new combinations of scientific names.Keywords: taxonomic changes , nomenclatural stability , subgenera , name usage Abstract: Recent changes in many scientific names have caused confusion for many non-systematists. We suggest wider useof the category of subgenus as a compromise between the simultaneous needs that exist at the present time: nomenclaturalstability for the vast variety of users of scientific names, and phylogenetic correctness for systematists and others concerned.
