Definitions

n.名词 noun
  1. 1

    Biology.

    • : a specimen designated as the type of a species or subspecies when no holotype was designated by the original author of the name.

Examples

  • Stejneger's reference to MCZ 1910 as the type is considered unintentional and an inadequate designation of a lectotype.

  • Lectotype: a co-type chosen, subsequently to the original description, to take the place which in other cases a holotype occupies.

  • I incline to the view that a specimen so designated would at most be only a lectotype, unless it were a cotype.
