Concept information

Preferred term

gymnonym  

Definition

  • A particular case of anoplonym: published but nomenclaturally unavailable nomen according to the Code, for missing a diagnosis or description, and in some cases an onomatophore. (Dubois 2000)

Entry terms

  • nomen nudum

Note

  • Etymology: G: γυμνός (gymnos), naked - ὄνομα (onoma), name.

Scope note

  • Code: (Hawksworth 2010) Nomen nudum: A name published before 1931, which fails to conform to the Code, or if published before 1930 fails to conform to other provisions of the Code; such a naked name is not an available name, and therefore the same name may be made available later for the same or a different concept; in such a case it would take the authors name and date from that act of establishment, not from any publication where it was a nomen nudum.
