Nice find John. Now that you mention it, I remember having seen this term in the literature. Jane, if you did publish the manuscript with the names for the unconfirmed/provisional species in the same format as typical scientific names, I think that would make them *nomina nuda*. However, I also think most taxonomists would advise against the intentional creation of *nomina nuda*. I’d still suggest the format I previously described.
