Preferred term

Principle of Sozoidy  

Definition

  • Among two or more zygonyms (homonyms or synonyms), whenever one qualifies as a sozonym, i.e., has been used since its introduction either universally (symphonym) or significantly in the non-systematic literature whereas none of its zygonyms has been used so for the same taxon or closely related taxa (paneurydiaphonym), it must be given precedence for validity (if not invalid for another reason) over its senior or seniorized zygonym(s). The same applies to two or more zygographs (competing parographs of a nomen) if one of them qualifies as a sozograph, i.e., complies with the same criteria, or to two or more zygophories, if one of them results in the validation of a sozonym. (Dubois 2013)
