12 THE ENTOMOLOGICAL CODE. 



55. A subspecies, a variety, or a race described in connection with 

 a valid generic name but under an invalid specific name (or a mis- 

 identified species) is validly established as a species, but the status 

 of the invalid specific name is unchanged. 



Example. — Jones describes a new variety nigripes of Alpha alba 

 Smith MSS. Nigripes stands as a valid species of Alpha and alba is 

 still a manuscript name. 



56. In writing the subspecific or varietal name the author of the 

 species is omitted and that of the subspecies or variety given. 



Example. — Jones' variety alba of Smith's Papilio nigra is written 

 Papilio nigra alba Jones. 



57. The names of hybrids may be written with the male parent 

 first, as Papilio philenor X Papilio asterias, or as a fraction with the 

 male parent above as Papilio philenor. 



Papilio asterias. 



Specific Homonyms. 



58. Homonyms (that is the same name for two different things) 

 are of two classes, primary and secondary; primary when two species 

 are described originally in the same genus under the same generic 

 name (emended or misspelled) , and secondary when they are de- 

 scribed under separate genera but later are referred to the same 

 genus. 



59. Specific names differing only in gender termination are con- 

 sidered as homonyms, and a name is a homonym when it is the 

 same as the corrected form of an earlier name emendable under 

 these rules. 



60. Specific names shall be considered as homonyms which are 

 equivalent in established Latin usage, as in the following examples: 



i or ii at the end, as fitchi and fitchii. 



as or iee at the end, as slossonse and slossonix. 



ev or eu at the beginning, as euonomi and evonomi. 



i or ;' at beginning, as ianthinum and janthinum. 



03, se, or e, as cceruleus, cseruleus, and ceruleus. 



i or y, as silvaticus and sylvaticus. 



c, ch, or k, as microdon, mikrodon; cochi, kochi; antochi, and 

 antoki.
