Cryptodraco Lydekker, 1889

Cryptodraco Lydekker, 1889 (Quart. J. geol. Soc., 45, 46. NcZ) "hidden dragon"
krip-TOD-ra-koh (Gr. kryptos "hidden, secret" + Gr. drakon "dragon") (m) to replace supposedly preoccupied Cryptosaurus Seeley, 1869. Lydekker's citation of "Cryptosaurus Geoffroy" is based on a typographical error for Cystosaurus Geoffroy, 1833 in a German journal, an error repeated by Agassiz in his 1846 Nomenclator Zoologicus. Such incorrect subsequent spellings are not a basis for homonymy under ICZN rules. [= Cryptosaurus Seeley, 1869].
