º e oldest name available is te rigt one

Example:
Nunneley 1837 establised @

2001 classified it as a junior synonym of @
 
  Linnaeus 1758
from S and i Europe.
@

is accepted, @

º e act of publising a new zoological name automatically
establises all te corresponding names in te relevant ranks,
wit te same type.
º Establising a species name will set te stage for any new
subspecies tat will be discovered!
Example:
un te species-group, publising a species name (te binomen) á

 

  Linnaeus, 1758 also establises te subspecies name
(te trinomen) á
