命名保存在收藏中的没有模式标本(S)的新的动物物种的分类描述是否应该被科学期刊接受发表并被准则允许的问题已经在动物园中讨论过(Dubois&Nemésio 2007；Donegan 2008,2009；Nemésio 2009a-b；Dubois 2009；Gentile&Snell 2009；Minelli 2009；Cianferoni&Bartolozzi 2016；Amorim等人)。2016)。这一问题再次在发表在《自然》杂志(Pape等人)上的一封由35个签署国支持的信中提出。2016年9月15日)。2016年9月25日，以下反驳(根据《自然》编辑规则，严格限制在300字以内)被提交给《自然》，后者于2016年10月18日拒绝发表。由于我们认为这个问题对动物分类学来说是一个非常重要的问题，本文完全按照提交给自然的方式在这里发表，紧随其后的是在2016年9月20日至10月6日的短时间内签署的493名分类学家和收藏研究人员的名单。
The question whether taxonomic descriptions naming new animal species without type specimen(s) deposited in collections should be accepted for publication by scientific journals and allowed by the Code has already been discussed in Zootaxa (Dubois & Nemésio 2007; Donegan 2008, 2009; Nemésio 2009a–b; Dubois 2009; Gentile & Snell 2009; Minelli 2009; Cianferoni & Bartolozzi 2016; Amorim et al. 2016). This question was again raised in a letter supported by 35 signatories published in the journal Nature (Pape et al. 2016) on 15 September 2016. On 25 September 2016, the following rebuttal (strictly limited to 300 words as per the editorial rules of Nature) was submitted to Nature, which on 18 October 2016 refused to publish it. As we think this problem is a very important one for zoological taxonomy, this text is published here exactly as submitted to Nature, followed by the list of the 493 taxonomists and collection-based researchers who signed it in the short time span from 20 September to 6 October 2016.
