Reference to some generic name, related or un-<br />

12 related, should <strong>the</strong>oretically be avoided, but cannot<br />

be ruled out <strong>in</strong> practice (parasitism!). Even more<br />

undesirable is <strong>the</strong> habit of referr<strong>in</strong>g to ano<strong>the</strong>r species,<br />

related or unrelated. But, if it really cannot be avoided, one<br />

can resort to <strong>the</strong> mention -spetsia (“species”) added as a tail<br />

admissible on condition <strong>the</strong>y obey <strong>the</strong> general<br />

nam<strong>in</strong>g procedures of Universal Taxonomy. 7<br />

“laser prone” laserosentema<br />

HIV homimunetsa<br />

An extremely important matter, where specific<br />

15<br />

names are concerned, is <strong>the</strong> characteristic(s)<br />

which <strong>the</strong>y are to express for typify<strong>in</strong>g a given<br />

species. These are normally drawn — and <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> follow<strong>in</strong>g<br />
