The ICZN does not know "valid publication".

I am pretty sure that the ICZN does not recognize "isotypes" (certainly they are not in the glossary).

The remark on types that are required is off as well. Brya 15:26, 4 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Allotype

As I read the ICZN an allotype does not appear to be part of the type series (or not necessarily to be part of it):

Recommendation 72A. Use of the term "allotype". The term "allotype" may be used to indicate a specimen of opposite sex to the holotype; an "allotype" has no name-bearing function.

However I am not familiar enough with zoological taxonomic practice to be sure I read this right. Brya 06:29, 6 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
