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

pseudoisonym, [pseudo-isonym]: (1) (prok., unoff.) a false isonym (q.v.);<br />

i.e. a name which at first appears to be based on the same type as<br />

another but is actually not. (2) (bot., unoff.) one of two or more<br />

names where different authors make the same combination based on<br />

the same subordinate element, but the inclusive higher-rank<br />

elements have different types.<br />

pseudonym: (1) a false or assumed name of a person; a nom-de-plume (e.g.<br />

the mycologist C. G. Lloyd writing under the name of N. J.<br />

McGinty); in (zool.) such works were formerly ruled as<br />

unnacceptale. (2) (phyt.) a name of a syntaxon used with the original<br />

author citation or reference to it but misinterpreted by later authors.<br />

pseudorecombinant: (vir.) an isolate of a multipartite genome virus which<br />

was formed by mixing genome parts from distinct parental isolates;<br />

see also reassortment.<br />

pseudotaxon, [pl. pseudotaxa]: (unoff.) segregates of a taxon which<br />

appear to be subordinate taxa, but in reality cannot be segregated<br />

and so cannot be classified.<br />

pseudotype: (1) (zool., unoff.) the type of a genus-group name which has<br />

been erroneously designated; a false type. (2) (zool., unoff.) a<br />

duplicate of a type specimen which was not studied by the author<br />

describing the taxon (e.g. one with the same collection details but<br />

deposited in a different institution).<br />

pseudotypic: (zool., unoff.) of a genus-group name, one with an invalid<br />

type.<br />

psocotype: (zool., unoff.) a type specimen damaged by psocids.<br />

PTR [PalaeoTaxon Record]: (palaeo.) a form of presentation of data for a<br />

base taxon only.<br />

publication: (1) (not nomenclatural) any published work. (2) of names, the<br />

act or process of making names available in the public domain; see<br />

effective publication, valid publication. (3) of books, pamphlets,<br />

periodicals, and other printed materials, the act or process of<br />

distributing printed matter through sale, exchange or gift into the<br />

public domain; see date of publication, effective publication,<br />

electronic publication. (4) (bio.) the distribution of text or images<br />

(but not sound) in multiple identical, durable, and unalterable
