Taxonomic remark From AFD: "Use of the name Wollumbinia is contentious, debate continuing about whether the name is available or not (see [including] Rhodin et al. 2009; Georges & Thomson 2010; van Dijk et al. 2011). The previous statement on the Australian Faunal Directory .. invoking Art. 8.6 [was incorrect], however, it appears that Art. 8.1 applies. Thus, Wollumbinia is given valid name status here." Other sources use Myuchelys Thomson & Georges, 2009 and treat Wollumbinia as a nomen illegitimum. [details]
