The purpose of this application, under Article 33.2.3 of the Code, is to correct the spelling\ cheesmani\ to\ cheesmanae\ for a tree frog named after Evelyn Cheesman. Following the finding that\ Hyla montanaPeters \& Doria, 1878\ was in reality a member of the genus\ Nyctimystes\ Stejneger,\ N.\ montanaParker, 1936\ became a secondary homonym. The replacement name,\ N.\ cheesmaniTyler, 1964, was given a masculine suffix, in error. Following the emendation to the feminine\ cheesmanae\ by Menzies (1976), there has been argument about whether the emendation was justified or not. To resolve the matter the Commission is here asked to rule that the emendation was justified and to place\ N.\ cheesmanae\ on the Official List of Specific Names in Zoology.
