  abstract = {{T}he question whether taxonomic descriptions naming new animal species without type specimen(s) deposited in collections should be accepted for publication by scientific journals and allowed by the {C}ode has already been discussed in {Z}ootaxa ({D}ubois & {N}em{\'e}sio 2007; {D}onegan 2008, 2009; {N}em{\'e}sio 2009a–b; {D}ubois 2009; {G}entile & {S}nell 2009; {M}inelli 2009; {C}ianferoni & {B}artolozzi 2016; {A}morim et al. 2016). {T}his question was again raised in a letter supported by 35 signatories published in the journal {N}ature ({P}ape et al. 2016) on 15 {S}eptember 2016. {O}n 25 {S}eptember 2016, the following rebuttal (strictly limited to 300 words as per the editorial rules of {N}ature) was submitted to {N}ature, which on 18 {O}ctober 2016 refused to publish it. {A}s we think this problem is a very important one for zoological taxonomy, this text is published here exactly as submitted to {N}ature, followed by the list of the 493 taxonomists and collection-based researchers who signed it in the short time span from 20 {S}eptember to 6 {O}ctober 2016.},
