> Taxonomic Comments: Because the name NOTROPIS STRAMINEUS is a junior
> synonym of CYPRINELLA LUDIBUNDA Girard, 1856 (= NOTROPIS LUDIBUNDUS),
> Mayden and Gilbert (1989) proposed that the specific name STRAMINEUS
> should be replaced by the name LUDIBUNDUS. This change was adopted by Page
> and Burr (1991). However, the name LUNDIBUNDUS has been unused since its
> original proposal. A petition has been submitted to the ICZN to conserve
> the familiar name STRAMINEUS. Pending the ICZN decision, the 1991 AFS
> checklist (Robins et al. 1991) retained the name as N. STRAMINEUS.
> Published opinion supports conservation of the specific name STAMINEUS
> (Bull. Zool. Nomen. 57:111-112).
