 unless there is cited as a genotype a species which is established in 

 accordance with current practice of zoological nomenclature. 



RULE 2. In all cases a new genus, or subgenus, must be characterized 

 and if it based on an undescribed species the two must be character- 

 ized separately. 



RULE 3. No description of a species, subspecies, variety or form will be 

 published unless it is accompanied by a statement which includes the 

 following information, where known (1) the type-locality; (2) of what 

 the type material consists with statement of sex, full data on locali-

RULE 4. No unsigned articles or articles signed by pseudonyms or initials 

 will be published.

 is discussed. 



SUGGESTION 2. It is desirable in describing new genera and species that 

 their taxonomic relationship be discussed and that distinguishing 

 characters be pointed out.

 are: Type (or holotype), allotype, paratype, cotype, lectotype, neo- 

 type, etc.

 and where first used in general articles the authority for the species,

SUGGESTION 5. Where the title of any publication referred to is not 

 written in full stand.-ird abbreviations should be used.
