202 Terms used in Bionomenclature<br />
taxa termed tribes (tribus) in Fries’s Systema Mycologicum (1821-<br />
32) are treated as validly published names of subdivisions of genera,<br />
although the term tribus was misplaced by Fries.<br />
trinomen, [pl. trinomina]: (1) a name consisting of three elements. (2)<br />
(zool.) the combination of a generic name, a specific name, and a<br />
subspecific name, that together constitute a scientific name of a<br />
subspecies; no rank-denoting term is used; the equivalent of<br />
subspecific name in (bot.) and (prok.) where a rank-denoting term is<br />
required. (3) (cult. pl.) a binominal name followed by an epithet in<br />
some infraspecific rank. (4) (bio.) the name of a species combined<br />
with an infraspecific epithet; see also combination.<br />
trinomial name: (1) (zool.) a trinomen (q.v.). (2) (palaeo., unoff.) a formal<br />
three-element name set for a fossil in PDHC (q.v.), i.e. palaeogrouptimeslot-palaeotaxon.<br />
(3) a trinomial combination (q.v.).<br />
trinomial combination: a combination of a genus and species name with<br />
that of a subspecies (zool., prok.) or any infraspecific taxon (bot.)<br />
with (bot., prok.) or without (zool.) the citation of a rank-denoting<br />
term; see trinomial name, trinomen.<br />
triplotype: (zool., unoff.) a single specimen used as the holotype for three<br />
separate new species.<br />
trivial name, [nomen trivial, nom. triv.; pl. nomina trivialia]: (bot.,<br />
prok., zool.) a specific epithet; used in this sense by Linnaeus.<br />
troop: (palaeo., unoff.) a term for a large unit in a Period classification<br />
(q.v.) incorporating notionally about 1000 palaeotaxa or species; see<br />
also subtroop.<br />
turma: (palaeo. bot., unoff.) a morphologically-based suprageneric rank<br />
used in the artificial classification of fossil pollen and spores<br />
unassigned to families, e.g. Turma Poroses.<br />
typ. cons., [typus conservandus]: a type which has been conserved.<br />
type, [typ., typus, T.]: (1) a term used alone, or forming part of a<br />
compound term, to denote a particular kind of specimen or taxon.<br />
(2) (bot., prok., zool.) an element on which the descriptive matter<br />
fulfilling the conditions of availability (zool.) or valid publication<br />
(bot., prok.) for a name is based, or is considered to have been
