Extreme example: several binomina from the late 1990s and/or early 2000s were 
erected not as "new genus & species" but just as "new taxon". (Isn't 
<i>Rahonavis</i> one of those non-genera?) As far as the ICZN is concerned, 
that makes them utterly and totally invalid. Nobody seems to care, hardly 
anybody seems to so much as notice.
