While White (134) considers nigriceps a valid synonym of anatum, he feels there is inadequate description and records to warrant considering naevius a valid synonym.
The type specimen of anatum (number 67,848 in the Museum of Comparative Zoology) was collected at Great Egg Harbor, New Jersey in December 1812 by A. Wilson (11).
Falco peregrinus naevius (66) was based on a description of Falco maculatus (25) which was in turn based on a description of the spotted falcon, Falco tachete (48).

Van Beneden published much on the Belgian fauna, but was interested in all aspects of zoology as shown by his numerous publications, e.g., on Cetacea, Mollusks, Linguatulida, medical zoology, etc. In a book "Animal Parasites and Messmates" from 1876 he coined the well-known words mutualism and commensalism.
The beaked whale Mesoplodon bahamondi Reyes, Van Waerebeek, Cardenas, and Yanez, 1996 (a synonym of M traversii (Gray, 1874)?) may likely also be named for him?

In botany, tautonyms (genus and specific epithet the same, as in Gorilla gorilla) are not permitted as they are in zoology.
If there had already been a Scirpus hudsonianum, then Fernald would have had to choose a specific epithet from another available synonym, if none existed, then he would have to choose a new specific epithet.
"Lapponica" is the specific epithet, it is an adjective and must agree with the gender of the generic name.

The resulting tautonymy was corrected by using the specific epithet from the next available junior synonym for the same species, hence Radiola linoides (Roth 1788).
In Botany a tautonymy (identical generic and specific epithets) is not allowed, but in Zoology it is.
The word rex is a noun, and thus doesn't have to agree in gender with Tyrannosaurus.

At the 17th Congress of Zoology in Monaco, responsibility for future Codes was transferred from the International Zoological Congresses to the International Union of Biological Sciences.
The Commission of Zoological Nomenclature decide that an available name is never to be used as a valid name despite the fact that it might be a senior synonym or homonym.

In fact, Boddaert coined the name Phoca albiventer (in recognition of the species’ white belly patch), and it was not until 1822 that the British naturalist J. Fleming suggested the genus Monachus (Fleming, J. The Philosophy of Zoology, vol.
Depicting two individuals loafing on idyllic white sands, the 4-stamp issue describes the species as Monacus albiventris, no doubt a corruption of the taxonomic synonym Monachus albiventer, a name most often associated with the 18th century Dutch physician and taxonomist P.

The term cladistics is based on the term clade, a synonym for monophyletic group, defined as the entire set of species descended from a common ancestor.
Phenetic classification also offers no insight into anything besides the classification itself; it does not represent phylogeny or any other pattern.
