136 Terms used in Bionomenclature<br />
to the nomenclature of fungi; the results from the Session will then<br />
be forwarded to the Nomenclature Section of the subsequent<br />
International Botanical Congress.<br />
nomenifer: see nominifer.<br />
nomenspecies: (1) (unoff.) the naming species; the nomenclatural type of a<br />
generic name. (2) (unoff.) a taxon treated as a species for purposes<br />
of nomenclature whatever status it otherwise merits. (3) (prok.,<br />
unoff.) strains identical to the nomenclatural type of a species name.<br />
(4) (prok., unoff.) a category designated more by name than by the<br />
characters of the included strains; cfr phenospecies.<br />
-nomial: (not nomenclatural) a suffix referring to mathematical (algebraic)<br />
terms, and best avoided in biological nomenclature; see binomial.<br />
nominal: of or in names; see binominal, multinominal, polynominal,<br />
nominal taxon, uninominal.<br />
nominal author: (phyl.) the person(s) who first published a name,<br />
regardless whether it was phylogenetically defined; see definitional<br />
author.<br />
nominal family-group: see family group.<br />
nominal genus-group: see genus group.<br />
nominal species-group: see species group.<br />
nominal taxon [pl. nominal taxa]: (1) (bio.) the unit formed by a name<br />
and its type (e.g. a generic name and its type species). (2) (zool.) a<br />
concept of a taxon which is denoted by an available name (e.g.<br />
Mollusca, Diptera, Bovidae, Papilio, Homo sapiens); each taxon in<br />
the family, genus or species groups is based on a name-bearing type<br />
(although in the latter two groups such a type may not have been<br />
actually fixed); see also taxon.<br />
nominant: (cult. pl.) the person who invents or coins a name.<br />
nominate: (zool., obsol.) a term used in previous editions of the Code for<br />
nominotypical (q.v.).<br />
nominifer, [nomenifer]: (prok., zool., obsol.) a nomenclatural type.<br />
nominotypical: (zool.) the nominal taxon at a subordinate rank within the<br />
family group, the genus group, or the species group that contains the
