Synopsis

Excerpt from The Determination of Generic Types: And a List of Roundworm Genera, With Their Original and Type Species

Part I contains a general discussion on determination of generic types.

A genus without a type species is like a ship without anchor or rudder, and a failure on the part of authors to designate types has been one of the most fruitful sources of trouble in systematic zoology and nomenclature. The existing codes of nomenclature recognize the importance of type species, but the rules for their deter mination are not explicit enough, while the views on the method of determination vary greatly among authors.
