I think it was re-created. It would be interesting to see who is thanked in the credits list (seriously).

Or they were male, or they were recent captives. Quote:

I hadn't seen that - thanks for pointing it out. The acceptance of new scientific names is really down to what do the other authorities in the area think of the paper - do they start using the new name? Do they reference the paper in question (in a good way)?
Addendum: They still reference the paper in question at the bottom of the amphibiaweb account for shanjing.
