Referee's report of James et al. 'Nine new species of Amynthas from Taiwan

摘要

This ms highlights the need for closer cooperation, communication and consensus between taxonomists, earthworm taxonomists in general, Asian earthworm taxonomists and Taiwanese earthworm taxonomists in particular. The delay to review this ms was necessarily to avoid problems of nomina nuda of Taiwan species referred to Shen et al. "in press". This referee just learned of that publication and found some miscitations.
