Taxonomic history

The genus Robertgurneya was first diagnosed by Karl Georg Herman Lang in 1944,[2] with the name commemorating Robert Gurney.[3] Since Lang did not designate a type species, as required by the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature for generic names published since 1930, that name is not "available". The first authors to explicitly designate a type species were Apostolov & Marinov in 1988, and they are therefore considered the authors of the genus.[2]
