Difference between Genus and Type species

Genus vs. Type species

A genus (genera) is a taxonomic rank used in the biological classification of living and fossil organisms, as well as viruses, in biology. In zoological nomenclature, a type species (species typica) is the species name with which the name of a genus or subgenus is considered to be permanently taxonomically associated, i.e., the species that contains the biological type specimen(s).

Similarities between Genus and Type species

Genus and Type species have 7 things in common (in Unionpedia): International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants, International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, Species, Taxonomy (biology), Type (biology), Type genus, Valid name (zoology).

International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants

The International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants (ICN) is the set of rules and recommendations dealing with the formal botanical names that are given to plants, fungi and a few other groups of organisms, all those "traditionally treated as algae, fungi, or plants".

International Code of Zoological Nomenclature

The International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN) is a widely accepted convention in zoology that rules the formal scientific naming of organisms treated as animals.

Species

In biology, a species is the basic unit of classification and a taxonomic rank, as well as a unit of biodiversity, but it has proven difficult to find a satisfactory definition.

Taxonomy (biology)

Taxonomy is the science of defining and naming groups of biological organisms on the basis of shared characteristics.

Type (biology)

In biology, a type is a particular specimen (or in some cases a group of specimens) of an organism to which the scientific name of that organism is formally attached.

Type genus

In biological classification, especially zoology, the type genus is the genus which defines a biological family and the root of the family name.

Valid name (zoology)

In zoological nomenclature, the valid name of a taxon is the zoological name that is to be used for that taxon following the rules in the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN).
