Martin Basse: Nomenklatorische Emendation von Taxa aus Publikationen des 
Autors [Nomenclatorial emendation of taxa from publications by the author]

Translation of the entire text:

"The following species and subspecies names from publications by the author 
or with his contribution are hereby corrected (adapted to the nomenclatorial 
gender of the respective genus name; justified emendation sensu ICZN 151):

*Scutellum flabelliferum endorfensis* Basse 1996        *Scutellum 
flabelliferum _endorfense_* Basse 1996
*Otarion (Aulacopleura) letmathensis* Basse & Lemke 1996        *Otarion 
(A.) _letmathense_* Basse & Lemke 1996
*Gudralisium gruenensis* Basse 1998        *Gudralisium _gruenense_* Basse 
1998
*Dechenella pruemense* Basse 2002        *Dechenella _pruemensis_* Basse 
2002
*Lauchellum gerolsteinensis* Basse 2002        *Lauchellum _gerolsteinense_* 
Basse 2002
*Tolkienia? wiltzense* Basse 2003        *Tolkienia? _wiltzensis_* Basse

*Rheingoldium feldbergensis* Basse 2003        *Rheingoldium _feldbergense_* 
Basse 2003
*Gudralisium lindlarensis* Basse 2003        *Gudralisium _lindlarense_* 
Basse 2003"

Thomas M. Kaiser, R. L. Bernor, J. L. Franzen, R. Scott & N. Solounias: 
*Hippotherium kammerschmittae* n. sp. instead of *Hippotherium 
kammerschmitti* Kaiser, Bernor, Franzen, Scott, & Solounias 2003

Entire text, English in the original:

"The Derivatio nominis 'Named after Maria Kammerschmitt' (Kaiser et al. 
2003) requests this correction according to ICZN Article 31.1.2. 
*Hippotherium kammerschmittae* n. sp. is substituted for *Hippotherium 
kammerschmitti*."

So... it looks like *Sinovenator changii*, *Halimornis thompsoni* and so on 
can and must still be emended even under the 2000 version of the ICZN. :-)
