Principle of Coordination  

Definition

  • 1) In the family-, genus- and species-series, a nomen introduced for a taxon at any rank of the nominal-series is deemed to be simultaneously introduced for any other taxon at any other rank of the same nominal-series. Whenever indeed used for such other taxa, these are not different nomina but avatars of the same nomen, having the same onomatophore, auctor and date. They are modified whenever appropriate, either in their spelling (in the family-series) or in their onymorph (in the species-series), but not in the genus-series. 2) The Principle of Coordination does not apply in the class-series, except in the case of a taxon that includes only one taxon of the just subordinate rank (e.g., a class with a single order), in which cases both taxa bear the same nomen, with the same onomatophore, auctor and date. (Dubois 2013)

Scope note

  • Code: The principle that within the family group, genus group or species group a name established for a taxon at any rank in the group is deemed to be simultaneously established with the same author and date for taxa based on the same name-bearing type at other ranks in the group.
