Taxa (singular taxon) are groups of organisms recognized in a classification and given biological names (e.g., Salmoniformes, Salmonidae, Oncorhynchus, Oncorhynchus nerka). A category is the level or rank at which the taxon is placed ...
Generic synonyms are usually given only for genera recognized as valid in earlier editions of this book but that are now considered junior synonyms, or for cases when a family-group taxon is made synonymous because its type genus has ...
Also included are estimated numbers of recognized (valid) genera and species (in some cases the number of species in each genus is also given). These figures are always for living forms, even if fossils are known for the taxon; ...
Fernholm (1998) treated Paramyxine (with species from Japan and Taiwan) as a synonym of Eptatretus; however, it continued to be recognized by workers such as Mok (2001) and Mok et al. (2001). Quadratus had been established for species ...
In the previous edition, all four lineages were recognized as subfamilies within the one family, Petromyzontidae. There are 10 genera with 40 extant species (Renaud, 1997, 2011; Gill et al., 2003; Kullander and Fernholm, 2003).
