published. (2) (zool.) the spelling or one of the spellings of a name
employed when it was established. (3) (bio.) the spelling employed
when a name was submitted for registration.
originally included nominal species: (zool.) of a nominal genus-group
taxon, the nominal species deemed to be originally included.

as homynyms; in (bio.) also used to include typographical errors;
see also equivalent name.
