'According to Article 11, of the International Code of Zoological 

 Nomenclature, " specific and sub-specific names are subject to the same 



rules and from a nomenclatural standpoint, they are 



co-ordinate - that is, they are of the same value." Hence our substitution 

 of a new specific name for Piaget's species.
