Dear colleques,

I have seen a long time ago "Entomological Nomenclature - List of terms for
TYPES" where are explanation of terms like Allotype, Autotype, Cotype,
Haplotype, Paratype etc. Anyone knows this referemce?

I would like to know:

 what is color code for some of this. I remember that  -
Red is for "Type, Paratype or Holotype",
Green is for "voucher specimen" and
Orange "Compared with Type specimen"...

When names as holotype, cotype and paratype was introduced and by who.

Regards

Richard
