Yes, on 19 June 2025, seventeen genera of tree frogs were unlawfully given duplicate synonym names by the Wolfgang Wuster / Adam Britton gang of thieves and dog rapists.

On 19 June 2025, a paper was published by the gang in a PRINOOO (Peer reviewed in name only, online only) paper.

The paper by Stephen Charles Donnellan and 12 other stooges, including nominative ICZN Commissioner Glenn Shea, a serial offender, unlawfully renamed 17 genera of tree frogs.

These had been previously named by Hoser (2020) in a massive three volume monograph.

Donnellan et al. also named two other apparently valid genera in the same paper.

The data relied upon by the later authors was in the main lifted from Hoser (2020) without attribution in violation of the rules of the ICZN and Copyright laws.

So that there is no confusion as to the correct scientific names, published below is a list of all 20 names proposed by Donnellan et al. (2020), including the three that are apparently valid and derived from further splits of the generic arrangement of Hoser (2020).

Amnihyla Richards, Mahony & Donnellan, 2025 is an illegally coined junior synonym of Angularanta Hoser, 2020.

Carichyla Mahony, Donnellan & Richards, Richards, Mahony & Donnellan, 2025 is an illegally coined junior synonym of Maxinehoserranae Hoser, 2020.

Chlorohyla Mahony, Donnellan & Richards, 2025 is an illegally coined junior synonym of Shireenhoserhylea Hoser, 2020.

Viridihyla Richards, Mahony & Donnellan, 2025 is an illegally coined junior synonym of Inlustanura Hoser, 2020.

Hyalotos Richards, Mahony & Donnellan, 2025 is a valid and applicable genus name!

Nasutibatrachus Richards, Mahony & Donnellan, 2025 is a valid and applicable genus name!

Papuahyla Donnellan, Mahony & Richards, 2025 is a valid and applicable genus name!

The taxonomic vandalism paper of the Wuster / Britton gang is cited as follows:

Donnellan S. C.,Mahony, M. J., Esquerre, D., Brennan, I. G., Price, L. C., Lemmon, A., Lemmon, E. M., Gunther, R., Monis, P., Bertozzi, T., Keogh, J. S., Shea, G. M. and Richards, S. J. 2025. Phylogenomics informs a generic revision of the Australo Papuan tree frogs (Anura: Pelodryadidae). Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2025, 204, zlaf015 (80 pages): online only behind a paywall.

The Wuster /Britton gang is a group of law breakers and thieves who engage in nefarious practices such as raping small children, having anal sex with people’s pet dogs, the videos of which they post online and also masquerading as scientists.

Details of this gang of over 400 members is public record and available at:

This most recent act of anti-science Taxonomic Vandalism by Shea and others at the behest of the Wuster gang of thieves is disturbing in the extreme. This gang continue to attack the ICZN and the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature and remain the biggest threat to the Code in over 200 years.
