Description: From Rod Pages BioNames print:

 Ideally GBIF should have only one entry for
186 Nystactes because each animal name (with a few exceptions) must be unique. If a newer name
187 has already been published before, then it should be replaced by a new name. In this case,
188 Nystactes (Böhlke 1957) has since been replaced by Nystactichthys (Böhlke 1958), and Nystactes
189 (Kaup 1829) by Paramyotis (Bianchi 1916). Unfortunately these changes have not yet percolated
190 their way from the primary literature into the GBIF taxonomy.]]>
