13 | A short and quick comparison of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature ([ICZN":http://www.iczn.org/iczn/index.jsp) and the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature ("ICBN](http://www.bgbm.org/iapt/nomenclature/code/SaintLouis/0001ICSLContents.htm).) There also is a very useful [http://scientific.thomson.com/support/products/zr/zoological-glossary/ |
||
14 | |||
15 | They look very similar and it seems they mostly use a different formatting for the same underlying ideas - sometimes not expressed explicitly though in one or the other. |

19 | ##### Author citations |
||
20 | |||
21 | |||
22 | * [http://www.iczn.org/iczn/includes/page.jsp?booksection=contents&chapter=11&nfv= * Generic format (not sure if zoologists call basionyms basionyms): |
||
23 | |||
24 | * _Genus (Subgenus) epithethon subspecies_ (BasAuthor, BasYear) Author, Year |
||
25 | |||
26 | * Examples: |
||
27 | |||
28 | * _Methiolopsis geniculata_ (Stål, 1878) Rehn, 1957 |
||
29 | |||
30 | * only subspecies as infraspecific rank allowed! all others are not covered by code. Therefore no rank abbreviation needed and simple trinomens are used. |
||
31 | |||
32 | * [http://www.iczn.org/iczn/includes/page.jsp?article=51&nfv= * authors are NEVER abbreviated |
||
33 | |||
34 | * Bot: |
||
35 | |||
36 | * Generic format: |
||
37 | |||
38 | * _Genus epithethon_ rankabbrev _infraspecies_ (BasAuthor ex ExBasAuthor) Author ex ExAuthor |

||
43 | |||
44 | * Zoo: [http://www.iczn.org/iczn/index.jsp?nfv=&article=37 |
||
45 | |||
46 | |||
47 | |||
48 | ##### Homonyms |
||
49 | |||
50 | * Zoo: senior/junior Hom. |
||
51 | |||
52 | * [secondary Hom.](http://www.iczn.org/iczn/includes/page.jsp?article=59&nfv=) are names with the same genus name, but not at the same time. Therefore there is no problem or need to change them. |
||
53 | |||
54 | * Bot: later/earlier Hom. |
||
55 | |||
56 | |||
57 | |||
58 | |||
59 | ##### Misapplied names |
||
60 | |||
61 | cite with "non _xxx_" |
||
62 | |||
63 | |||
64 | |||
65 | ##### Subgenera |
||
66 | |||
67 | Zoo: if a subgenus exists it _may_ be cited in paranthesis between the genus and the species epitheton. E.g: Ala (lies) alume 1973 |
||
68 | |||
69 | Bot: subgenera are not part of a species name. |
||
70 | |||
71 | |||
72 | |||
73 | ##### orthographical variants |
||
74 | |||
75 | seem to be treated the same way. |
||
76 | |||
77 | * Zoo: [correct original spelling":http://www.iczn.org/iczn/includes/page.jsp?article=32&nfv= and "subsequent spellings](http://www.iczn.org/iczn/includes/page.jsp?article=33&nfv=:) emendation, incorrect subsequent spelling or a mandatory change. |
