5. Group<strong>in</strong>gs by means of a holotvpe, hav<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> end<strong>in</strong>g<br />

–ESK, can go up to <strong>the</strong> level of order (Ordo), but this is<br />

not mandatory. Whenever a holotype of any hierarchical<br />

level is absent — i.e. has not yet been determ<strong>in</strong>ed — <strong>the</strong><br />

end<strong>in</strong>g -ESK becomes naturally unusable.<br />

6. If a family of genera is too loosely bound for determ<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g<br />

a holotype, <strong>the</strong>n <strong>the</strong> family name will have to be a<br />

characteris<strong>in</strong>g word end<strong>in</strong>q on -ULOJ or a vernacular<br />

group name with simply -ARO as an end<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>stead of -<br />

ESKOJ. This applies also to taxons higher up.<br />

Diplistomulum X Diplostomuloj<br />

From all <strong>the</strong> preced<strong>in</strong>g Rules it should be clear, that<br />

25 <strong>the</strong>re is no longer any need to <strong>in</strong>corporate <strong>the</strong><br />

name of <strong>the</strong> author who first determ<strong>in</strong>ed <strong>the</strong><br />

species, nor <strong>the</strong> year <strong>in</strong> which this memorable event took<br />

place, as demanded by <strong>the</strong> now obsolete Priority Rule.<br />

Biological Nomenclature has better purposes to serve than<br />

be a memorial to past human endeavour!<br />

Botany and Zoology both should accept race<br />

(Raso) as a (sub)form for a subspecies and, if yet<br />

ano<strong>the</strong>r deviation from this taxon occurs, <strong>the</strong><br />

conceptual symbol of variety (Vario) 11 26<br />

i.e. cultivar. The same<br />

goes for hybrids.<br />

11 A question to consider is whe<strong>the</strong>r or not <strong>the</strong> notion of "regional<br />

subspecies" should be abandoned, and "race" become used <strong>in</strong>stead.
