[Taxacom] HOLOLECTOTYPE

Thu Feb 15 05:28:28 CST 2018

Thinking about the most recent comment on entomological  usage -- not relevant to Lorenzo's query -- I wonder, Paul (the other one), if it is not more likely that "hololectotype" is  being contrasted with "isolectotype" which is an accepted ICN term  John

Yes, "hololectotype" is meaningless, and a contradiction-in-terms.

Presumably this stems from the fact that in addition to a holotype
there can be paratypes.  In informal usage there also exists the
term "paralectotype", although, despite many attempts to include
this, it is not part of the Code. This "hololectotype" is, presumably,
the result of the assumption that since paratypes often accompany
a holotype, if there are "paralectotypes" (quod non), there must
also be a "hololectotype".

Thus, presumably, the intention is to refer to a "lectotype".
