Species Inquirenda
In biological classification, a ''species inquirenda'' is a species of doubtful identity requiring further investigation. The use of the term in English-language biological literature dates back to at least the early nineteenth century. The term taxon inquirendum is broader in meaning and refers to an incompletely defined taxon of which the taxonomic validity is uncertain or disputed by different experts or is impossible to identify the taxon. Further characterization is required. See also * Glossary of scientific naming * ''Candidatus'', a proposed taxa based on incomplete evidence * ''incertae sedis'', a taxon of uncertain position in a classification * '' nomen dubium'', a name of unknown or doubtful application * Open nomenclature Open nomenclature is a vocabulary of partly informal terms and signs in which a taxonomist may express remarks about their own material. This is in contrast to synonymy lists, in which a taxonomist may express remarks on the work of others. Common . ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
