Preferred term

choronym  

Definition

  • Class-series nomen sozonymorph, taxonomically allocated within the frame of a given ergotaxonomy under DONS Criteria through its orotaxon if present, and being therefore its oronym. This is possible only if all the coalienogenera of this nomen are still its extragenera (excluded from its metrotaxon). If this is not the case, the nomen is a gephyronym and therefore an anaptonym. (Dubois 2006a)
