Preferred term

Orostensional Nomenclatural System (OONS)  

Definition

  • Nomenclatural system which relies both on onomatophores (conucleogenera) and onomatostases (alienogenera) for the taxonomic allocation of class-series nomina (bidirectional ostension): within a given taxonomic frame, a nomen 1) either applies to the most inclusive taxon that includes all its conucleogenera and excludes all its alienogenera if it exists, or 2) is an anaptonym if such a taxon does not exist because of overlapping between the onomatophore and the onomatostasis. (Dubois 2015b)
