Alpha alba, var. major, form longipennis Smith. 
CATEGORY I. 
(Specific Names and Ones of Lower Rank:) 
38. A specific name becomes valid when published in connection 
with a description or figure of that species, or with reference to a 
previously published named or unnamed description or figure, or to 
replace a valid name of specific or lower rank. 
39. A specific name published without reference to or in connec- 
tion with a generic name is invalid. 
40. The citation of a manuscript name as a synonym of a valid 
name does not of itself validate the manuscript name, its status being 
subject to the rules governing new names. 
Example.—Alpha minor Linn. 
(= Alpha nor Latr. MSS.) 
Alpha nor Latr. is still but a manuscript species, even 
though a description of A. minor Linn. is therein 
included. 
41. A new specific name mentioned in the description of a new 
genus is not thereby validated unless it is clearly stated that the 
description is that of both a new genus and a new species. 
42. The date of a valid specific name is that of first publication of 
the page whereon that specific name becomes valid. 
43. The name (or abbreviation) of the author of a specific name 
is placed, without intervening comma, after the specific name. 
44. If a species is removed from the genus in which it was origi- 
nally described the author’s name may be placed in parenthesis and, 
if desirable, the name of the person responsible for the first use of 
the new combination may be placed after the original author’s name; 
but in no ease is it allowable to substitute another name for that of 
the original author of the species. 
Example.—AI/pha alba Linnaeus, when transferred to the genus 
Beta by Gray, may be written: 
Beta alba Linn. 
Beta alba (Linn.) 
or Beta alba (Linn.) Gray. 
but not Beta alba Gray.
