Taxonomic remark Retallack & Broz, 2020 interpret Skinnera Wade, 1969 and Hallidaya Wade, 1969 (published on different pages in the same work) as upper and lower views of the same organism, and therefore synonyms. These authors state: "Hallidaya has priority over ‘Skinnera’ by virtue of first mention by Wade (1969)", however this is incorrect logic: since both names were published in the same work on the same date, actions of a first reviser are required to designate which one is to be used ("page priority" is no longer a valid concept). Although that action is not specifically invoked, Retallack & Broz are in effect acting as first revisers in selecting the name Hallidaya to have priority over Skinnera. [details]
