List Of Triple Tautonyms
The following is a list of triple tautonyms: zoological names of species consisting of three identical words (the genus, generic name, the specific name (zoology), specific name and the subspecies have the same spelling). Such names are allowed in zoology, but not in botany, where the generic and specific epithets of a species must differ (though differences as small as one letter are permitted, as in cumin, ''Cuminum cyminum''). List *''Alces alces alces'', the European elk *''Alle alle alle'', a subspecies of little auk *''Anser anser anser'', a subspecies of greylag goose *''Bison bison bison'', the plains bison *''Bubo bubo bubo'', the European eagle-owl *''Bufo bufo bufo'', the European toad *''Buteo buteo buteo'', the European buzzard *''Capreolus capreolus capreolus'', the European roe deer *''Caracal caracal caracal'', a subspecies of caracal *''Cardinalis cardinalis cardinalis'', a subspecies of northern cardinal *''Caretta caretta caretta'', the Atlantic loggerhead sea ...

Tautonym
A tautonym is a scientific name of a species in which both parts of the name have the same spelling, such as ''Rattus rattus''. The first part of the name is the name of the genus and the second part is referred to as the ''specific epithet'' in the ''International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants'' and the ''specific name'' in the ''International Code of Zoological Nomenclature''. Tautonymy (i.e., the usage of tautonymous names) is permissible in zoological nomenclature (see List of tautonyms for examples). In past editions of the zoological Code, the term tautonym was used, but it has now been replaced by the more inclusive "tautonymous names"; these include trinomial names such as ''Gorilla gorilla gorilla'' and '' Bison bison bison''. For animals, a tautonym implicitly (though not always) indicates that the species is the type species of its genus. This can also be indicated by a species name with the specific epithet ''typus'' or ''typicus'', although more c ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
