Abstract

Many publications on lectotypification of 'species' are coming up in different periodicals. We would like to point out that 'species' do not have type(s); they have circumscription and only the names have types. What is circumscription? It is an attribute or a set of attributes that characterize the taxon, and exclude it from all other taxa. Thus, a heading such as 'lectotypification of species' is not correct. This was first pointed out to one of us (S.B.) by late Dan H. Nicolson in 1992. However, such inappropriate titles appear even in reputed taxonomic journals.

Abstract

A protologue is 'everything associated with a name at its valid publication, e.g. description, diagnosis, illustrations, references, synonymy, geographical data, citation of specimens, discussion, and comments'. Therefore, without consulting a protologue it is difficult to arrive at a particular conclusion on the identity of a taxon.

Abstract

In the course of research work, we often need to communicate with other researchers for the reprints of their publications, or for some queries and clarifications related to the research. Sometimes, opinions of experts or senior researchers are essential for the young researchers while concluding their research outcomes.
