It is shown that the name Chiliospora A. Massal. with its one species, C. elegans Zw. ex A. Massal., was made public before Biatoridium Körb. and its type B. monasteriensis Lahm ex Körb. However, this was done in a meeting at the Academy in Venice in February 1860, where a printed version of the lecture was handed out, but not, apparently, distributed to even the limited extent required for effective publication according to the ICBN. That happened only at the end of the year 1860, and in the meantime Körber had published his name in a valid and effective manner, his name being fortunately the earlier, and no nomenclatural changes are necessary.
