Plumulites ruskini Lamont, 1978 (Machaeridia): proposed unavailability of the species name. Y. Candela. (Case 3654; acknowledgement of receipt published in BZN 71(1): 1).

Smith (Case 3237, acknowledgement of receipt published in BZN 59(2): 70; published in BZN 59(2): 97–98) has been closed without a vote. Following correspondence with the author, it has been determined that the lectotype designation is valid under the changes to Article 74.7.3 in Declaration 44 (see BZN 60(4): 263). The case is now closed.
