 Comments
       
  Comment: Orthographic variant per ICN Article 61.6: "Epithets with the root caf[f][e]r-, such as cafra, caffra, cafrorum, and cafrum, are not permitted in the nomenclature of organisms covered by this Code. Where these epithets were used in validly published names, they are to be treated as orthographical variants that are to be replaced by epithets with the root af[e]r-, such as afra, afrorum, and afrum, respectively." The resolution to approve Article 61.6 was accepted by the XX IBC on July 27, 2024, without any expressly given effective date, therefore per Article 13, Article 61.6 is effective July 27, 2024
