A synonymy and citation record is provided in Leclercq (2010). Tsuneki consistently used succineicollare in subsequent publications, but this form is not a valid mandatory emendation of collarum, collearum, or colle according to the rules of Latin grammar. Tsuneki cannot be considered his own First Reviser according to Article 24.2.4 of the Code.

Haneda (2008) may have served as a First Reviser, as according to Leclercq (2010) the form succineicollarum was used in this work. However, this work is not accessible online, and I could not verify whether Haneda (2008) cited all forms of the original name in Tsuneki (1952). Hashimoto and Nakanishi (1999) also use succineicollarum, but do not act as First Revisers.

Acting as First Reviser, I select Rhopalum succineicollarum Tsuneki, 1952 as the available name. Rhopalum succineicolle, Rhopalum suecineicolle, Rhopalum succineicollearum, and Rhopalum succineicollare are all incorrect spellings and therefore unavailable according to Art. 24.2.3. If they are considered subsequent spellings, both Haneda (2008) and Hashimoto and Nakanishi (1999) preclude the possibility of Rhopalum succineicollare being a correct original spelling according to Art. 33.3.1. If they are to be considered incorrect original spellings, they have no separate availability and cannot enter into homonymy or be used as a substitute name according to Art. 32.4.

If Haneda (2008) proves to have been a First Reviser, this revision is to be considered nullified according to Art. 24.2.5 and an update will be published accordingly upon notice.

Borealis is only an adjective in Classical Latin, but it was substantivized as a noun in Medieval Latin, according to the Mittellateinisches Wörterbuch. The ICZN notes in the Glossary that Latin “includes both ancient and mediaeval Latin”. Verrill did not make any statement indicating that borealis was to be considered as an adjective or a noun, nor that it was derived from a non-Latin or non-Greek word. According to ICZN 31.2.2, the species name must be considered as a noun in apposition to the genus, and the original spelling is to be retained.

Porrhomma borealis (Banks, 1899) is the correct name.
