iL 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. 
SrpEcIFIcC HomMonyms. 
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 i at the end, as fitcha and fitehia. 
& or 1# at the end, as slossonx and slossonix. 
ev or ew at the beginning, as ewonomi and evonomia. 
i or j at beginning, as zanthinum and janthinum. 
we, &, or e, as ceruleus, ceruleus, and ceruleus. 
2 or y, as silvaticus and sylvaticus. 
c, ch, or k, as microdon, mikrodon; cochi, kochi; antochi, and 
antoki.
