175 The naming of organisms (and plant communities)
schizotaxon: (unoff.) the one of two or more taxa formerly included under
one name and subsequently split into two or more taxa of the same
rank.
schizoholotype: (zool., unoff.) a significant fragment or part of a holotype.
schizolectotype: (zool., unoff.) a significant fragment or part of a lectotype.
schizoparalectotype: (zool., unoff.) a significant fragment or part of a
paralectotype.
schizotype: (1) (bot., unoff.) a syntype which a later author implies he
regards as the nomenclatural type of a taxon, e.g. by excluding all
other syntypes from the taxon, but does not specifically state he or
she has selected a type for the taxon; i.e. an implicit lectotype. (2)
(zool., unoff.) a single specimen which is the type of two valid taxa.
(3) (zool., unoff.) a piece of a type (that may also be a kleptotype);
commonly used in this sense amongst workers on colonial animals.
scientific name: (1) a name that is formed according to and governed by
one of the Codes, or is of a similar latinized from (e.g. zoological
names ranked above family-group); see available name, name. (2)
(zool.) of a taxon, a name that conforms to the Code, as opposed to a
vernacular name; the scientific name of a taxon at any rank above
the species group consists of one name, that of a species of two
names (binomen), and that of a subspecies three names (a trinomen);
a scientific name is not necessarily available.
scilicet, [sc.]: namely.
scoopotype: (zool., unoff.) the type of a taxon that was described more
rapidly by one author than another also planning to describe the
same taxon (!).
seasonal type: (zool., unoff.) see locality type.
sec., [secundum]: according to.
secondary homonym,[#]: (zool.) each of two or more identical specific or
subspecific names established for different nominal taxa and
originally combined with different generic names but subsequently
combined with the same generic name.
