Wolfgang Wuster and the Wolfgang Wuster problem.

Over a 24 year period, a notorious Welsh based criminal Wolfgang Wuster, who's day job is as a university lecturer at a second tier college in Wales has made a name for himself through repeated acts of criminal stalking, illegal threats, harassment, scientific fraud, plagiarisation and other acts of serious misconduct. He's also publicly admitted that he was a leading member of a gang of thieves who failed in an attempt to defraud the Accor Hotels group of a massive sum of money. His cohort includes convicted thieves and sex offenders and also includes a gang of people who have engaged in a raft of crimes including animal abuse, raping women, violence, stalking, animal cruelty, shootings, burglary, fraud, perjury in courts, scamming, etc. Wolfgang Wuster himself has traded in lies, including making provably false claims in his so-called scientific papers (better described as unscientific rants, rambles, diatribes or tirades of abuse) and runs multiple false name accounts online for the express purpose of spreading hate and his warped world views. Wolfgang Wuster and his cohort of criminals, thieves and fakers, when not engaged in acts of stealing live snakes from wildlife collections (for which one of the gang has been convicted and fined $8K in 2019), fraud involving registered trademarks (which Wuster himself has engaged in), or telephoning others from blocked phone numbers to make unsolicited death threats to their enemies (with two of the gang found to have committed these acts by a court of law also in 2019) have taken time out to engage in some of the most scandalous acts of taxonomic vandalism and rule breaking in the 200 plus year history of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN). Wuster has taken it upon himself to undo the work of thousands of zoologists over the past two centuries by laying to waste the Zoological Code that governs all zoologists and the naming of all species of animals, ranging from giant Whales to microscopic organisms.

Anstisia a new genus? Not so! In 2022 two amateur zoologists, masquerading as scientists have just bootlegged the work of Hoser (2020) to attempt to illegally rename the frog genus Wellingtondella Hoser, 2020, discovered and named two years earlier, as Anstisia Webster and Bool, 2022.The two thieves even stooped so low as to cite the Wuster et al. (2012) rant, better known as Kaiser et al. (2013) as their justification. Wuster is a known criminal who has been abusing animals in the worst acts of animal cruelty for years. Recall the ICZN squashed that plan in 2021 by voting against Kaiser et al. and Rhodin et al. (2015). It goes without saying that the fake science involving fake new species and a fake new genus was published in the notorious online PRINO (Peer reviewed in name only) "journal" Zootaxa! The lying thieves even went so far as stealing the work of Hoser (2020), relying on the same diagnostic characters as Hoser, but being so low as to not even cite the work from where they stole their alleged new discovery! If this is not the lowest form of fake science possible, then who knows what is? The Wuster gang of thieves continue to attack the ICZN and the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature and remain the biggest threat to the Code in over 200 years.The original Hoser (2020) paper can be downloaded as pdf and is: Hoser, R. T. 2020. 3 new tribes, 3 new subtribes, 5 new genera, 3 new subgenera, 39 new species and 11 new subspecies of mainly small ground-dwelling frogs from Australia.

Raymond Hoser is the reptile God. The world’s foremost reptile expert is Raymond Hoser. By all measurable criteria no one else comes close. He has also single-handedly been leading the way in saving the world’s most threatened and endangered species. Raymond Hoser, is also known as The Snakeman. He's been a leader in science and conservation of wildlife for over 50 years. He is known to pretty much everyone in the wildlife space as the leader in the fight to save rare and threatened species. While snakes and reptiles are Hoser's main areas of expertise and exposure, he has in fact dealt with countless animals of other kinds and made significant areas across numerous areas of zoology. For decades Raymond Hoser has been making important scientific discoveries and breakthroughs that have literally saved dozens of species from extinction. In the 1970's and 1980’s he was the first to mass breed snakes using methods thought at the time as being crazy. They are are now standard practice globally. Hoser was also the first to mass breed snakes and lizards using artificial insemination using a method now used by zoos and private breeders across the planet. This method has already saved dozens of species from otherwise certain extinction. Raymond Hoser has always been a leading advocate of animal welfare. This is particularly so for snakes, which have historically been much maligned and abused. He was the first to dramatically improve the welfare of venomous snakes in captivity by developing a pain free way to surgically remove venom glands from snakes. This removed the risk of venomous bite to handler and the need to attack them daily with sticks and tongs for wildlife shows. Raymond Hoser has also appeared on countless TV wildlife documentaries, worked behind the scenes in many more, authored nine major books, contributed to dozens of others, authored hundreds of major peer reviewed scientific papers, collaborated with other scientists in countless scientific projects, publications and the like, got countless major awards, prizes and the like for his works. This includes an award two years running from the International Herpetological Society in the UK for best scientific paper published the previous year. Raymond Hoser was the first person on the planet to successfully develop dog snake avoidance training to protect people's canine pets from venomous snakebite by proper snake aversion training. Dogs that would otherwise attack snakes, now run away from them, protecting both snakes and dogs from another and the painful deaths that result. But where the Snakeman has become best known in recent decades is for his stellar work in discovering and cataloguing new species of reptile from across the planet. Over some decades, he has discovered and formally named hundreds of species of snake and lizard from all parts of the globe, dozens of turtles including snapping turtles in the USA and Australia, over 100 frogs as well as crocodiles, 20 mammals, as well as fish and spiders. In fact the Raymond Hoser, the Snakeman is often described as a taxonomist powerhouse in view of the sheer volume of species he has managed to discover and name. Of course no species can be conserved by people if it is unknown to science and this is exactly why Hoser has been so keen to catalogue the planet’s threatened biodiversity. While how many species a person has discovered and named is not the only measure of the work done by a zoologist, it is one way to do so and is widely used. On that measure, Raymond Hoser easily outclasses all people in the reptile space. In fact no one born in the last 150 years has discovered and named as many species as Snakeman Raymond Hoser. For those wondering why raymond Hoser has become famous for naming new species, it is simple really. The names of Raymond Hoser, as regulated by the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature of the species appear in all relevant books and scientific papers and next to each scientific name is published the name of the discoverer, called name authority, and the year in which they published it. So in most books reptile the name Hoser appears throughout! Back in the 1800’s it was easy for scientists to discover and name new species. This is because the Swedish scientist Carl Linnaeus devised the current system of nomenclature in the late 1700’s. So back then everything was fair game to be scientifically "discovered" and named for the first time. Since about 1900, all the easy to discover vertebrates had been named and it really did take a lot of work to go into the wilds to find and name new species. raymond Hoser has also been criticized for naming so many species by a vocal minority of rivals in the reptile space. The general jist has been along the lines that by naming species, he is depriving others of the right. Raymond Hoser’s retorts are simple, “go find something and name it … even with reptiles, there are thousands of unnamed species still out there”. Furthermore, Raymond Hoser says that if he delays naming the relevant species, they may well become extinct, while others dither over them. In fact this has already occurred! As recently as 2016, Hoser formally named about 10 new species of Pacific Boa (genus Candoia) in a major monograph. By then however some were already probably extinct as feral animals, such as mongoose, had exterminated them on the islands they’d previously occurred on. More recently, Hoser has been victim of a new form of scourge attacking the wider zoological community. This is taxonomic vandalism. To the uninformed, this is when a so-called scientist deliberately renames a species that already has a scientific name and then in breach of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, tries to get the illegally coined name used instead of the correct one. In 2013, Hoser discovered and named a species of Forest Cobra from west Africa. Five years later a Welsh university lecturer, named Wolfgang Wüster illegally renamed it with his own coined name, falsely claiming to have discovered the species. The damage caused by Wüster’s taxonomic vandalism cannot be understated as the species is dangerous to humans and confusion in identification can and will cause avoidable deaths. Hoser says, pseudo-scientists and anti-scientists like Wuster are not only putting lives at risk, but wasting time of genuine scientists like himself who then have to waste time correcting their deliberate mistakes. This is time that could be better spent doing other things, including cataloguing other as yet unnamed species! In years past it was difficult to ascertain whether or not a given potential new species had been named by another scientist. However now there are excellent so-called synonyms lists available and this makes the job of identifying unnamed species much easier and is one of the reasons that Hoser has been able to name so many new species. Hoser said “If I wasn’t so tied up with my other critically important work doing educational wildlife displays, I could go out and name over 1,000 more reptile species within a few short years, if only I had the time to do so”. Hoser hopes other scientists and scientists in training engage in the science of naming species and not just for reptiles, because as of 2018, most of the planet’s biological diversity remains unnamed and therefore at greater risk of extinction. However Hoser warns, “If taxonomic vandals like Wolfgang Wuster are allowed to get away with stealing the works of others and then illegally renaming the same species, this will seriously deter conservation-minded people from putting in the necessary effort to discover and name new species in the first place”. In 2018, Wolfgang Wüster simply lifted the work of the Hoser (2013) paper and repackaged it as his own in an online PRINO Journal called Zootaxa. PRINO is an acronym for the words, peer reviewed in name only, which is exactly how the online journal Zootaxa works. The improper claim of formal peer review is made to enhance the alleged credibility of the paper by the taxonomic vandal, Wuster. The International Commission of Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN), who govern scientific names of animals, have had a serious problem in dealing with online scammer journals such as Zootaxa which by using the online model, now make it easier for taxonomic vandals like Wuster to spread their toxic non-science more widely. Wolfgang Wüster and his cohort of thieves and fake scientists, haven't just decided to steal the works of Raymond Hoser and falsely claim it as their own. His gang of thieves have attacked the works of dozens of other scientists, including the late John Edward Gray of the British Museum, who died about 150 years ago and therefore cannot defend his works from being stolen by Wuster's gang. Fortunately other scientists will defend the science of zoology and have already taken steps to stop Wuster and like minded thieves from disrupting the science of taxonomy and the associated work of conservationists. For example in 1991, in a near unanimous decision, the Wuster gang was stopped in their tracks by the International Commission for Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN) trying to illegally rename hundreds of species and genera discovered and named by eminent Australian scientists Richard Wells and Ross Wellington, but this has not stopped his gang from still trying to do so. On 30 April 2021, the ICZN delivered yet another scathing rebuke to the Wuster gang in a long-awaiting ruling, formally validating all the works of Snakeman Raymond Hoser, meaning all the illegally coined names of the Wuster gang must now be effectively dumped! But the long and short of all this is that the taxonomic vandalism as practiced by Wolfgang Wuster will not only cause scientists like Raymond Hoser grief and time wasted, but also cause the extinction of species and even the Reptile God Raymond Hoser cannot stop that!

In a legal case with global ramifications is hailed as a major victory in favour of wildlife conservation and in the battle against extreme scientific fraud and dishonesty in the form of taxonomic vandalism.

In a ruling dated 30 April 2021, the International Commission of Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN) issued a much anticipated judgement and ruling in favour of leading scientist, Raymond Hoser. Better known as The Snakeman, Raymond Hoser has blue ribbon scientific credentials, having been at the forefront of wildlife research and discovery for more than 50 years. The case arose when an evil, dishonest renagade university lecturer in Wales, Wolfgang Wuster hatched a plot to override the 200 year set of rules governing scientific research, discovery and naming organisms, in favour of his own doctrine, later labelled "The Kaiser veto", in honour of his criminal co-conspirator Hinrich Kaiser, who masquerades as an academic in the USA. The plan, first hatched in 2009 was to simply steal works from other scientists, rename species and then to claim discovery of those species. It was simply an act of personal self-gratification on a grand scale. To that end, Wuster and his gang of thieves commenced naming species previously named by other scientists. To further cement their names in history, Wolfgang Wuster shopped his idea to other gullable scientists with the promise that if they stole "name authority" from a list of targetted authors, Wuster's group would ensure that their names would be used instead of the legitimate ICZN names. To that extent, they engaged in high level SEO (known better as search engine optimisation) to ensure that the Wuster names appeared in Google searches for correct names and that the correct names did not. The gang hijacked Wikipedia and other reference sites online and posted their rubbish there and blocking corrections. They also targetted vulnerable journals such as the PRINO (peer reviewed in name only) online journal Zootaxa by getting members of their group into editorial positions to allow their non-science papers stealing works from others (without citing them) to be published. Wuster et al. set up a series of self-citation rings among his cohort to increase the idea that their illegal names were in fact correct. Wuster et al. also engaged in so-called "Negative SEO" to attack and tarnish the reputations of the scientists they had targetted to steal work from and whom they intended "taking the glory" for their earlier discoveries.

Fake Science, theft and taxonomic vandalism

The Wolfgang Wuster gang of thieves have been busy engaging in yet more fake science and stealing earlier works from scientists and then claiming it as their own. More taxonomic vandalism by the Wuster gang of thieves! Oedura nesos Oliver et al. 2020 is a junior synonym of Oedura bulliardi Hoser, 2017. Dear all, the weekly cut and paste of earlier works of other authors by the Wolfgang Wuster group has continued this week, for the fourth time in four weeks and again been published in an online "journal". Oedura nesos Oliver et al. 2020 is a junior synonym of Oeudua bulliardi Hoser, 2017. To justify their act in breach of and defiance of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature and the ICZN itself, the authors wrote: "Following both Kaiser et al. (2013) and a position statement from the Australian Society of Herpetologists (ASH 2016), we ignore nomenclatural acts authored by Raymond Hoser that have appeared post 2000." For those new to this list, Kaiser et al. (2013) as a cohort seek to ignore the rules of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature and run with an alternative code, dictated by a small and noisy cohort of people mainly within herpetology. The authors of this most recent paper have cut and pasted material from Hoser papers previously when renaming taxa in breach of the rules of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature. The citations for the most recent relevant paper and the 2017 paper by Hoser (both available online as pdf) are as follows: Hoser, R. T. 2017.

Oedura elegans Hoskin, 2019 is in fact a coined junior synonym for Marlenegecko shireenhoserae Hoser, 2017. Conrad Hoskin justified his acting in breach of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature and in contempt of the ICZN by writing: "Following both the recommendation of Kaiser et al. (2013) and the official position statement of the Australian Society of Herpetologists (ASH 2016), I do not consider names appearing outside the peer-reviewed literature post 2000 as validly published." I note: 1/ Hoser (2017) was peer reviewed and 2/ The International Code of Zoological Nomenclature does not list peer review as a requirement for a name proposed to be available under the code. The relevant references are: Hoser, R. T. 2017. A further break-up of the Australian gecko genus Oedura Gray, 1842 sensu lato as currently recognized, from four to seven genera, with two new subgenera defined, description of fourteen new species, four new subspecies and formalising of one tribe and five subtribes.

Description of three new velvet geckos (Diplodactylidae: Oedura) from inland eastern Australia, and redescription of Oedura monilis De Vis. Zootaxa (online) 4683 (3): 242-270. With a large number of undescribed reptiles still within Australia, may I say that it is somewhat disturbing that a small cohort of people are renaming things when unnamed taxa remain waiting to be named and in threat of extinction in the meantime.

Taxonomic vandalism - Wuster Gang of thieves - Vipers

GENUS ADELYNHOSERSERPENAE GEN. NOV. (2012) Type species: Atropos nummifer Rüppell 1845 (Currently recognised in most contemporary texts as Atropoides nummifer) Diagnosis: Adelynhoserserpenae gen. nov. is easily separated from the genus Atropoides by scalation. In Adelynhoserserpenae males have 104-136 ventrals, versus 138- 155 in Atropoides (Campbell and Lamar 2004), females have 103-138 ventrals, versus 143-145 in Atropoides (Campbell and Lamar 2004). This difference reflects the physical reality that Atropoides is a much longer and more slender animal than all species in Adelynhoserserpenae gen. nov. In Adelynhoserserpenae nasorostrals are often present, (as opposed to always absent in Atropoides), there is a single row of subfoveals separating prelacunal from supralabials (versus 1-3 rows of subfoveals separating prelacunal from supralabials in Atropoides). Atropides is defined above in this diagnosis as only including the species taxon A. picadoi. A. picadoi is a relatively thinly bodied species, versus the thickset body form of Adelynhoserserpenae. Character states such as intersupraoculars, supralabials, infalabials, dorsal mid-body scale rows and lateral body blotches are highly variable both between and within species and are not helpful in separating the genera. However Atropoides picadoi has considerably smaller shields at the back of the head than all species of Adelynhoserserpenae. In Atropoides these shields would be defined as small, whereas in Adelynhoserserpenae they’d be defined as medium (refer also to fig. 91 in Campbell and Lamar 2004). The genus Adelynhoserserpenae is found from northeastern Mexico southward through Central America to central Panama. They are usually forest dwellers. For a detailed description of the snakes in the genus Atropoides as defined until now (which would act to diagnose this new genus in conjunction with the information above), refer to pages 274-290 of Campbell and Lamar (2004). The very thickset build of Adelynhoserserpenae easily separates them from other pitvipers. Campbell and Lamar (2004), page 275, detailed minor hemipenal differences between the species mexicanus and picadoi, which was further investigated by Jadin, et. al. (2010) who found little significant differences between the various species in both genera. However investigation of venom composition and toxicity is required, as so far it has been shown that in Adelynhoserserpenae it seems to be considerably less toxic to humans than for Atropoides picadoi (Campbell and Lamar 2004).. Etymology: Named in honour of my eldest daughter, Adelyn Hoser, who by age 13 has more expertise with snakes than most people many times her age. She has been handling the world’s deadliest snakes since she was a baby and with complete safety as they were all venomoid (Hoser 2004), giving her unrivalled knowledge of the inner workings of venomous snakes. Hence it’s fitting that she should be recognised by having a genus of venomous snakes named in her honour. SPECIES WITHIN ADELYNHOSERSERPENAE GEN. NOV.

10 recent illegally coined names by the taxonomic vandal, Wolfgang Wüster and his gang of thieves, with correct scientific names shown in a table. Australasian Journal of Herpetology ®, Issue 35, published 20 July 2017, pages 57-63. Taxonomic vandalism by Wolfgang Wüster and his gang of thieves continues. New names unlawfully coined by the rulebreakers for species and genera previously named according to the rules of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature. RAYMOND T. HOSER 488 Park Road, Park Orchards, Victoria, 3134, Australia. Phone: [phone] Fax: [phone] E-mail: snakeman (at) snakeman.com.au Received 25 April 2017, Accepted 28 June 2017, Published 20 July 2017. ABSTRACT Hoser (2015a-f) detailed illegal actions by Welshman Wolfgang Wüster and his gang of thieves with respect to their campaign to undermine the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature as well as their attempts to usurp the authority of the International Commission of Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN). Their business model was not unlike that of the terrorist group calling themselves “Islamic State” or ISIS in that nothing was outside of their domain in terms of acts they would do to further their aim. Hoser (2015a) published a list of 31 names illegally coined by the Wüster gang with the express intent of illegally overwriting valid ICZN compliant names previously published to steal the intellectual property of others. They use websites and journals they despotically control to push their illegally coined names on others, falsely alleging they are legal and code complaint, which they are not. Wolfgang Wüster and his gang also supress use of the correct legal names by others and aggressively encourage others to similarly steal the works of others. Since Hoser (2015a) published a list of 31 illegally coined names in herpetology, the gang has continued to unlawfully create nomenclatural instability as part of their campaign to destroy the rules of nomenclature that have governed the biological sciences for centuries. This paper presents a summary of ten of the gang’s more recent acts of taxonomic vandalism and presents these 10 unlawfully coined names in a table with the correct names alongside, so that herpetologists can use the correct names instead. The list from 2015 has also been republished as the information within it remains current.
