A century ago, some stodgy taxonomists applied the "page and line priority" rule!

Fortunately, the ICZN now focuses on stability in determining the "precedence between simultaneously published names" per Article 24:

Recommendation 24A. Action of First Reviser. In acting as First Reviser in the meaning of this Article, an author should select the name, spelling or nomenclatural act that will best serve stability and universality of nomenclature.

Taxonomic question.  Two species are named in the same paper. You decide to synonymize them. Which name, if either, has priority? Thanks – Roy
