Type specimen

Japanese: タイプ標本 - タイプひょうほん(英語表記)type specimen
Type specimen
A specimen that is used as a standard when giving a scientific name to a biological taxonomic group. It is also called a type specimen. For species and taxa of a lower level, a specific specimen is described and given a scientific name as a type specimen (type series for animals), and a scientific name is given to any specimen by determining whether it belongs to the same taxonomic group. For taxa larger than species, one of the lower classifications is determined as the type. This is called the type method, and is the procedure adopted in the nomenclature code.

生物の分類群に学名を与えるときに基準となる標本。基準標本ともいう。種とそれ以下の階級の分類群については,特定の標本に記載を加え学名を与えたものをタイプ標本(動物では模式系列)として,任意の標本がそれと同一分類群に属するかどうかの判定によって学名を与える。種よりも大きい分類群には,それより低い階級の分類の一つをタイプと決めて判定する。これをタイプ法type methodといい,命名規約で採用されている手順である。
