tautonymy > linnaean tautonomy

Preferred term

linnaean tautonomy  

Definition

  • Tautonymy is qualified as Linnaean when the substantive was introduced before 1931 and the epithet was a pre-1758 nomen cited as a synonym of only one of the species-series taxon originally included in that genus-series taxon. Like absolute tautonomy, it may result in the election of the nucleospecies of a genus-series nomen, if it has not been effected previously by original designation or monophory. (Traditional term, definition by A. Dubois)
