Anas platyrhynchos Anaso [S] platabeka = “(genro)tipa”<br />

Accord<strong>in</strong>g to NBN, <strong>the</strong> best-known and described species among<br />

Cetacea (whales) is Tursiops truncatus, <strong>the</strong> bottle-nosed dolph<strong>in</strong>,<br />

mak<strong>in</strong>g it even typical for <strong>the</strong> whole order; <strong>the</strong>refore it should<br />

take <strong>the</strong> name Turshopsho [OS] trunkigita = “ordotipa” [from<br />

tursh• “shuttle” and opsh• “aspect”] <strong>in</strong> Universal Taxonomy.<br />

2. It seems preferable to name a superior taxon after still<br />

liv<strong>in</strong>g groups, ra<strong>the</strong>r than select a fossil for holotype,<br />

even if <strong>the</strong> fossils happen to be (far) more numerous.<br />

Platanacea [K] Plataneskoj “plane-trees”<br />

Xiphosura [O] Ksifuvreskoj “horseshoe-crabs”<br />

3. Of course, if a given generic holotype ought to be<br />

regarded as belong<strong>in</strong>g to ano<strong>the</strong>r family, <strong>the</strong>n it must be<br />

transferred <strong>the</strong>re and <strong>the</strong> former family name will have to<br />

be changed accord<strong>in</strong>g to a holotype newly selected from<br />

among its rema<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g genera... and so on for higher<br />

taxons.<br />

F Alfataktseskoj<br />

changed to:<br />

| [G] Alfataktso<br />

| G Betataktso<br />

| G Gamataktso<br />

F Betataktseskoj | [G] Betataktso<br />

| G Gamataktso<br />

and:<br />

F Deltataktseskoj |<br />

|<br />

G Alfataktso<br />

[G] Deltataktso<br />

| G Zetataktso<br />

4. A subspecies can also be selected as holotype for <strong>the</strong><br />

species.<br />

S rudzhatiga S+ sibiruja [“red-twigged”]<br />

S rudzhatiga [S+] nordafrika = “spetsitipa”<br />
