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

suborder, [subordo]: (1) a rank between order and family. (2) (bot., obsol.)<br />

once sometimes used as a equivalent to the rank of family when<br />

“order” was used as a family term; see order natural.<br />

subordinate taxon: a taxon at a lower rank than the taxon or the coordinate<br />

group (zool.) or rank (bot.) with which it is compared; subordinate<br />

taxa are considered to form a part or whole of a taxon of higher<br />

rank.<br />

subphylum: a rank in the taxonomic hierarchy immediately below that of<br />

phylum; a subdivision (q.v.).<br />

subprovarietas, [subprovar.]: (cult. pl., unoff.) proposed as a rank term<br />

between provarietas and conculta.<br />

subrace: (cult. pl., unoff.) proposed as a rank term approximately<br />

equivalent to form or group, and above that of cultivar.<br />

subsequent designation: the designation of a name-bearing type of a taxon<br />

published after the taxon was established (validly published).<br />

subsequent monotypy: (zool.) the situation arising when a nominal genus<br />

or subgenus was established before 1931 without any included<br />

nominal species, and when only a single taxonomic species denoted<br />

by an available name was first subsequently referred to it.<br />

subsequent spelling: (zool.) any spelling of an available name other than<br />

an original spelling.<br />

subspecies, [subsp., ssp.; pl. subspp., sspp.]: (1) (zool.) the species-group<br />

rank below species and the lowest rank at which names are<br />

regulated by the Code; a trinomen (q.v.). (2) (bot.) a rank between<br />

species and variety. (3) (prok.) the only formally recognized rank<br />

below that of species.<br />

subspecific epithet: (bot., prok.) the word following the indication of<br />

subspecies rank; the equivalent of a subspecific name (zool.).<br />

subspecific name: (zool.) the third name in a trinomen; the equivalent of a<br />

subspecific epithet (bot., prok.).<br />

subspecioid, [subspd., sspd.]: (cult. pl., unoff.) a subcategory of specioid<br />

between specioid and convar (or cultiplex), and equivalent to<br />

subspecies in wild plants.
