Specimen other than the holotype that the author uses when describing the species.
A specimen cited in the protologue other than the holotype or isotype(s; ICBN Art. 7). Comment: Once not included in the ICBN itself (but only in the "Guide for the Determination of Types"), paratypes cannot be searched to designate a lectotype. Judgement must be exercised on paratype status, for only rarely are specimens explicitly cited as paratypes, but usually as "specimens examined," "other material seen," etc.

Specimens forming the type series from which a holotype is designated by the original author of the species. The paratypes are designated by the original author. See type specimens.
