THE ENTOMOLOGICAL CODE. 19 
88. A genus is not a synonym because it has among its originally 
included species one or more that is already the type of another 
genus. 
89. Names, when used and treated by their author as generic 
names, are such, even when called by some other names, as “cohors,” 
«&e. 
90. To rank as a subgenus a name, or its initial, must be so stated 
or used, or placed in parentheses between the generic and specific 
names. Any name given to any division of a genus and neither 
designated nor used as a subgenus has no standing in nomenclature. 
Note.—There are thousands of such names, called series, cohors, 
divisions, groups, sections, legions, &c., or even families and races. 
Such have not been cataloged as genera nor subgenera. 
91. Subgeneric names are subject to the same rules as generic 
names. One subgeneric name shall be the same as that of the genus 
to which it is subordinate, and its type the same as that of the genus. 
92. A genus does not lose its genotype by becoming a subgenus, 
and a subgenus on becoming a genus retains its former type, if it 
had one; otherwise a type must be selected from among those species 
originally included under it as a subgenus. 
TyPpE oF A GENUS. 
93. In every genus there shall be one species known as the type, 
or genotype. ‘Two essential qualifications of a genotype are: Ist. 
It shall have a valid name. 2d. That name shall have been origi- 
nally included, without question in the genus. 
94. No specific name originally quoted in synonymy in a certain 
genus can be accepted as the type of that genus, nor one doubtfully 
determined, provided there are others available for type citation 
under these rules. 
95. Genera with but one originally included specific name (ex- 
clusive of synonyms and subspecies or varieties) are monobasic and 
genera with more than one such name, not including synonyms, are 
polybasie.’ 
96. The genotype of a monobasic genus is the only specific name 
cited, irrespective of misidentification or restriction. 
~ Example—Alpha Smith, new genus with a single specific name 
included, the Beta alba of Jones. Then Beta alba Jones is the geno-
