English term

lectotype

GBK English to Danish Science Zoology
Definition from University of Washington :
A specimen subsequently selected from the paratypes to serve as the holotype in the absence of the bona fide holotype. A single specimen subsequently selected from a cotype or syntype series; equivalent of a holotype.
Example sentences:
A lectotype may be chosen from the original illustrated specimens, taking the original description into full account. All specimens associated with the lectotype remain syntypes. (Victoria University of Wellington)
A lectotype and an allolectotype were selected to establish the taxonomic base for the genus. A ruling has been requested from the International Commission of Zoological Nomenclature on the disposition of the neotype. (Journal of Nematology )
The valid designation of a lectotype fixes the status of the specimen as the sole name-bearing type of that nominal taxon; no later designation of a lectotype has any validity. (Int. Commission Zoological Nomenclature)

lectotype

Peer comment(s):

disagree Frank Grevil : If it is to be included, at least its spelling should be changed to regular Danish: "lektotype". "Biologiske fagtermer" is not authoritative when it comes to spelling.

agree Anna Haxen : It's fine with either "c" or "k". Why not enter it as "lectotype/lektotype", since both are used and no authorized spelling seems to exist.
