Principle of Proedry  

Definition

  • Whenever zygonyms (homonyms or synonyms) are introduced simultaneously, but proposed at different ranks within their nominal-series, the nomen proposed at higher rank has precedence. The same applies between synchronous zygophories (competing airetophories) if they concern taxa at different ranks: the designation made for the taxon at higher rank has precedence. (Dubois 2013)

Note

  • Etymology: G: προεδρíα (proedria), precedence, first place
