Ichthyological terms, not general ones.
Can be used to refer to any taxonomic group, the characteristics of which are used for defining related, higher or lower ranking groups. For example, the type of a nominal species is a specimen (type specimen), the type of a nominal genus is the nominal species (type species), and the type of a nominal family is the nominal genus (type genus).

In zoological nomenclature, the biological type (normally either a genus, species, or specimen) that determines how a name is applied.
Any specimen within a type series if no holotype or lectotype has been designated, the syntypes collectively representing the name-bearing type.
Used in 2 profiles
A type specimen of a species that only appears in an unpublished source.
The single specimen designated as the name-bearing type of a nominal species or subspecies.
Used in 36 profiles
In zoological nomenclature, a syntype specimen selected as the name-bearing type of a nominal taxon in the absence of a designated holotype.
Used in 6 profiles
A single specimen designated as the name-bearing type of a species subsequent to its description, most often when the holotype, lectotype, and syntype no longer exist.
Used in 14 profiles
In zoological nomenclature, a specimen other than the holotype upon which a description is based, i.e., each specimen of a type series other than the holotype.
Used in 9 profiles
A specimen collected from the type locality of a given species.
Used in 1 profile
Used when a description or illustration serves as a type to refer to the specimen(s) on which it was based.
Term formerly used in zoological taxonomy and equivalent to the modern terms syntype and paratype but no longer valid according to the ICZN code.
A phenotype resulting from environmental or ecological conditions rather than genetic inheritance.
A distinct population of a species adapted to occupy a particular habitat due to localised natural selection.
In zoological nomenclature, any remaining member of a former syntype series following designation of a lectotype.
Used in 1 profile
The observable physical and biochemical traits of an organism, such as its behaviour, external morphology, colour pattern, phenology, etc. Influenced by both genetic and environmental factors.
Used in 7 profiles
Each of two or more synonyms referring to nominal taxa with the same name-bearing type, or, in the cases of family-group and genus-group taxa, referring to nominal taxa with name-bearing types whose own names are themselves objectively synonymous.
