● Erroneous TL. San Domingo (= East Indies); “The oldest name for this bird is, no doubt, Turdus dominicus of P. L. S. Müller ...a gentleman who brought out an edition of Linnæus’s ‘Systema Naturae’ and included species published since 1766 ...It is a great question whether this author is entitled to recognition at the hands of ornithologists, as he was apparently colour-blind – witness his bestowing the name of viridis upon the rufous-and-grey Terpsiphone of South Africa, and castanea upon the totally black Philepitta jala of Madagascar! In the case of Lalage terat he has committed himself greatly, as he has not noticed the numbers of the figures on D’Aubenton’s plate [pl. 273], and has named the upper bird (“Merle des Indes orientales”) dominica, instead of the under figure, which represents a bird from San Domingo [“Merle de Saint-Domingue”]; to this he has given the name of indicus” (Sharpe 1879) (syn Lalage nigra).

(Podicipedidae; syn. Tachybaptus † Least Grebe T. dominicus) Specific name Colymbus dominicus Linnaeus, 1766; "In a recent publication (Ksepka et al. in press), the results of a phylogenetic analysis of extant and fossil Podicipediformes (grebes) were reported.  Because the Least Grebe 'Tachybaptus' dominicus was recovered outside of the monophylectic group formed by other Tachybaptus species, Poliocephalus, and the fossil taxon Thiornis, it was proposed that the genus Limnodytes be resurrected for this species.  However, it has come to our attention that this name is invalid due to being a junior homonym.  Ksepka et al. (2013) incorrectly ascribed authorship of the genus name Limnodytes to Linnaeus.  Linnaeus (1766) named the species dominicus, but assigned this species to Colymbus Linnaeus, 1758, a 'wastebasket' genus that has since been suppressed under the plenary powers of the ICZN (ICZN 1956, Opinion 401).  The name Limnodytes was first applied to grebes by Oberholser (1974), and thus is a junior homonym of Limnodytes Duméril and Bibron, 1841, a ranid frog (currently synonymized with Hylarana Tschudi, 1838).  Given the history in the ornithological literature of creating tautonymous genera when separating species first named by Linnaeus, we propose Dominicus nom. nov. as a replacement name for Limnodytes Oberholser, 1974.  Colymbus dominicus Linnaeus, 1766, is the type and only known species." (Ksepka & Kammerer 2013); "Dominicus Ksepka and Kammerer, 2013, Palaeontology, 56 (5), p. 1171.  New name for Limnodytes Oberholser, 1974, not of Duméril and Bibron, 1841 (Amphibia)."
