ABSTRACT Ohler & Dubois (2018) argued that Article 23.9 of the Code cannot be used to reject the name Hyla quoyi Bory de Saint-Vincent, 1828 in favor of its junior synonym Hyla prasina Burmeister, 1856.

We discuss this issue and give recommendations on searches in electronic bibliographical databases.
