It is my understanding that the Int Commission for zoological & botanical
nomenclature are separate but run on similar rules. Or that is what I was
taught about 38 years ago in university. And no I have not researched this
recently. I don't think it is an issue of Linné's systematics are not 100%
perfect! There isn't an expectation that they are, at least in that regard.
Thus I have known that there are several examples of this, although the one
I have thought of over the years is Chloris.
Whilst John started with the suggestion of typos, At least I fixed the typos
in John's header.

Hi John,
No, it's not a typo. The genus Eremophila has been used twice (Emu-bushes
[bot.] and Horned Larks [orn.]). Same applies for Prunella (Self-heals
[bot.] and Accentors [orn.]), Pityriasis (skin rash [med.] and Bornean
Bristlehead [orn.]), Icterus (jaundice [med.] and New World Orioles [orn.])
and certainly some others...
Linné's systematics are not 100% perfect!
Cheers,
Nikolas

Hi John,
i noted in your e-mail below do that the Horned Lark has the genus
Eremophila. This must be a typo as Eremophila is the genus for "Emu-bush"
here in Australia.
