EukMap Taxon Status

ACCEPTED
The used name is accepted in the present literature.
UNACCEPTED
The used name is accepted in the present literature.
ALTERNATE_REPRESENTATION
To link species that are represented twice: once with and once without subgenus. Alternate representation can also be used for a species and its nominal subspecies (note: you can only add a subspecies if the species is present in the database).
CANDIDATUS_NAME
a provisional name for well characterized but as-yet uncultured organisms. [Schoch 2020]
COMBINATIO_NOVA
Combinatio nova is used when a new name is introduced based on a pre-existing name. The term should not to be confused with species nova, used for a previously unnamed species. There are three situations: the taxon is moved to a different genus; an infraspecific taxon is moved to a different species; the rank of the taxon is changed.
EFFECTIVELY_PUBLISHED_NAME
a name made available in printed and/or electronic matter made generally available to the scientific community but not published in the journal of record, under the ICNP. [Schoch 2020]
INTERIM_UNPUBLISHED
An as yet unavailable name (until in a print issue) which has been published online only, in a work that does not show evidence of ZooBank registration (ICZN Article 8.5). Interim Register of Marine and Nonmarine Genera
NOMEN_DUBIUM
A name of uncertain application, because it is not possible to establish the taxon to which it should be referred. A good example is the "Ascothoracida" genus Laocoon. There is a debate whether this is based on a parasite or on a detached piece of the host. It is clearly a dubious name. [Schoch 2020]
NOMEN_ILLEGITIMUM
not in accordance with the rules of its relevant code of nomenclature. [Schoch 2020]
NOMEN_INEDITUM
used in literature, i.e. a name proposed without adherence to any code of nomenclature. Indicated with single quotes in NCBI Taxonomy. [Schoch 2020]
NOMEN_INVALIDUM
not published in accordance with rules enumerated in the ICN. [Schoch 2020]
NOMEN_NOVUM
a name regulated by ICNafp that is based on a legitimate or illegitimate, previously published name, which is its replaced synonym and which, when legitimate, does not provide the final species epithet, name, or stem of the replacement name, or a name regulated by ICZN that is established expressly to replace an already established name. [Schoch 2020]
NOMEN_NUDUM
A name that does not comply with the name requirements of the codes, such as lack of a description or diagnoses or reference to a description or diagnosis or a type specimen is lacking for publications after 1999. [Schoch 2020]
ORTHOGRAPHIC_VARIANT
not following standard rules of orthography, such as gender disagreement between genus and species, either when originally published or mistakenly corrected in later publications; includes names which are "incorrect original spellings" and "incorrect subsequent spellings" in zoological parlance. [Schoch 2020]
REPLACED_SYNONYM
a synonym replaced by a nomen novum. [Schoch 2020]
SPECIES_NOVA
A species nova is a new species.
TAXON_INQUIRENDA
An incompletely defined taxon that requires further characterization, it is impossible to identify the taxon.
TEMPORARY_NAME
To create higher rank taxa to accommodate child taxa for which the classification is not sorted yet.
