147 The naming of organisms (and plant communities)<br />

represented by the corresponding name-bearing types, and whose<br />

names for purposes of priority compete only with names based on a<br />

name-bearing type representing the same part, life-history stage or<br />

preservation state. (2) (zool., unoff.) a taxon, usually of fossils,<br />

based on some part less than the whole organism, e.g. form genera<br />

(q.v.) of fossil plants based on dispersed spores, detached leaves,<br />

names applied to individual fossil teeth, and any ichnotaxon (q.v.).<br />

(3) (zool., unoff.) a taxon that corresponds only to definite stages in<br />

the life-history of an organism; see also anamorph, teleomorph. (4)<br />

(zool., unoff.) a domesticated taxon, kept apart from its wild<br />

ancestor only by human vigilance.<br />

paratopotype: (zool., unoff.) a paratype from the same locality as the<br />

holotype.<br />

paratype: (1) (zool.) all specimens other than the holotype on which a<br />

species-group name is based and so designated in the original<br />

publication of the name. (2) (bot.) a specimen cited in the<br />

protologue that is neither the holotype nor an isotype, nor one of the<br />

syntypes if two or more specimens were simultaneously designated<br />

as types; see also paralectotype. (3) (prok., obsol.) a form of a<br />

bacterium possessing the sum of the characters of the normal form<br />

but differing in one or more respects.<br />

paratype allotype: (zool., unoff.) a paratype from a different locality from<br />

the holotype; a paratype (q.v.).<br />

paratype omotype: (zool., unoff.) a paratype from the same locality as the<br />

holotype; a paratype (q.v.).<br />

parenthesis, [pl. parentheses]: see brackets.<br />

paronym: (1) (unoff.) a name related etymologically to another but spelt<br />

differently (e.g. Bougainvillea and Buginvillaea) (2) (cult. pl.) a<br />

name so similar orthographically or phonetically to another name<br />

that they are likely to be confused. See also paranym.<br />

parte: see pro parte.<br />

partially suppressed name: (zool.) the older of two objective synonyms<br />

which is suppressed for the Principle of Priority alone, without also<br />

being suppressed for the Principle of Homonymy.
