Resumen
RAMIREZ-CHAVES, Héctor E. y SOLARI, Sergio. Bothrops ayerbei FOLLECO-FERNÁNDEZ, 2010 AND Bothrops rhomboatus GARCÍA, 1896 (SERPENTES: VIPERIDAE) ARE AN UNAVAILABLE NAME AND A NOMEN DUBIUM, RESPECTIVELY. Bol. Cient. Mus. Hist. Nat. Univ. Caldas [online]. 2014, vol.18, n.1, pp.138-141. ISSN 0123-3068.
In this work, we present and discuss the reasons for which the binomen Bothrops ayerbei Folleco-Fernández, 2010, constitutes an unavailable name according to the rules of the current International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, because the code allows no the publication of new taxa in electronic journals before 2011. In addition, we present the reasons for which the binomen Bothrops rhomboatus García, 1896, which has also been written as Bothrops rhombeatus, constitutes a nomen dubium given the lack of type material and its troubled history that hamper a correct taxonomic assignation.
