This taxon was traditionally thought to be a primitive stem lineage, from which all the larger bodied platyrrhines evolved ( see Hershkovitz, 1977 ).

When first described in 1924, Velociraptor was placed in the family Megalosauridae, as was the case with most carnivorous dinosaurs at the time ( Megalosauridae, like Megalosaurus, functioned as a sort of ' wastebin ' taxon, where many unrelated species were grouped together ).

In the 19th century, the Mesozoa were a wastebasket taxon for multicellular organisms which lacked the invaginating gastrula which was thought to define the Metazoa.

The original collective term for these taxa was " Ascomycetes ", which was first coined in the 1800s for a rankless nonlichenized taxon that possessed asci.

The taxon was originally named Archiascomycetes ( or Archaeascomycetes ).

The collection was not recognized as a new species until further field work confirmed that this taxon was different than R. manillana.

Andrew Farke, in his 2011 redescription of the only known skull, concluded that it was an aged individual of its own valid taxon, Nedoceratops hatcheri.

The old taxon Triturus was found to be a wastebasket taxon, and the smooth newt was transferred to Lissotriton together with the other small-bodied newts.

In the past, the grouping was used as a wastebasket taxon for a variety of small to very small, relatively unspecialised, insectivorous mammals.

: Argus Bohadsch, 1761 ( Gastropoda ) ( was made available for homonymy by ICZN in Opinion 429, Bohadsch 1761 was non-binominal-this had the effect that no other one of the various following names Argus can be used for a taxon )

When the homonymy was discovered 110 years later in the 1990s, the younger ( gastropod ) taxon had to receive a new family name, and the Commission needed to be asked for a solution ( Opinion 2018 ).

A taxon called Amelanchier lamarckii ( or A. x lamarckii ) is very widely cultivated and naturalized in Europe, where it was introduced in the 17th century.

The taxon stellarum was described as a subspecies of the D. dorianus, but some recent authorities have treated it as a species based on its absolute diagnostability.

However, in a 1970 review of North American tyrannosaurs, Dale Russell concluded that Deinodon was not a valid taxon, and used the name Tyrannosauridae in place of Deinodontidae, stating that this was in accordance with ICZN rules.

The taxon Plagiaulacidae was named by Gill T. N.

The taxon Albionbaataridae was named by Kielan-Jaworowska Z. and Ensom P. C.

This taxon was erected in 2005, based upon fossil material found in beds of lower Zitai Formation exposed in Maocaopu, Reshi, Taoyuan County in north Hunan, China.

Bees are a monophyletic lineage within the superfamily Apoidea, presently classified by the unranked taxon name Anthophila.

This taxon originated in Asia and spread across continents by crossing land bridges.

The name became a wastebasket taxon, rather like the dinosaur Megalosaurus, to label any pterosaur remains that could not be distinguished other than by the absence of teeth.

The ' definition ' of a taxon is encapsulated by its description.

A genus in one kingdom is allowed to bear a scientific name that is in use as a generic name ( or the name of a taxon in another rank ) in a kingdom that is governed by a different nomenclature code.

Although they were first discovered in 1883 by the German zoologist, Franz Eilhard Schulze ( 1840-1921 ) and since the 1970s more systematically analyzed by the German protozoologist, Karl Gottlieb Grell ( 1912-1994 ), a common name does not yet exist for the taxon ; the scientific name literally means " flat animals ".

Historically, all fossil Onychophora and lobopods were lumped into the taxon Xenusia, further subdivided by some authors to the Paleozoic Udeonychophora and the Mesozoic / Tertiary Ontonychophora ; living Onychophora were termed Euonychophora.

Natantia is an obsolete taxon of decapod crustaceans, comprising those families that move predominantly by swimming – the shrimp ( comprising Caridea and Procarididea ), prawns ( Dendrobranchiata ) and boxer shrimp.

Christian Dietzen, Hans-Hinrich Witt and Michael Wink published in 2003 in Avian Science a study called " The phylogeographic differentiation of the European robin Erithacus rubecula on the Canary Islands revealed by mitochondrial DNA sequence data and morphometrics: evidence for a new robin taxon on Gran Canaria ?".

According to the rules for taxon naming established by the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses ( ICTV ), the name Ebola virus is always to be capitalized, but is never italicized, and may be abbreviated ( with EBOV being the official abbreviation ).

Vermes (" worms ") is an obsolete taxon used by Carolus Linnaeus for all non-arthropod invertebrate animals.

According to a study of molecular and skeletal evidence by Jon Fjeldså and colleagues, the Cinnamon Ibon of the Philippines, previously considered to be a white-eye, is a sister taxon to the sparrows as defined by the HBW, best classified as a subfamily of the Passeridae.

The T12 virus itself has not been placed into a taxon by the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses.

The only option to use the 1868 name for the hemipteran taxon is to get the 1858 name officially suppressed by the Commission.

This is the principle that each nominal taxon in the family group, genus group or species group has, actually or potentially, a name-bearing type fixed to provide the objective standard of reference by which the application of the name is determined.

They face problems like long-branch attraction, saturation, and taxon sampling problems: This means that strikingly different results can be obtained by applying different models to the same dataset.

Cultigen is a general-purpose term for plants that have been deliberately altered or specially selected by humans, while cultivar denotes either a rank in a cultigen classification scheme, or a cultigen taxon.

A cultivar name consists of a botanical name ( of a genus, species, infraspecific taxon, interspecific hybrid or intergeneric hybrid ) followed by a cultivar epithet.

Thus Nemexia is not currently considered an accepted genus taxon by most plant taxonomists.

Though by no means as diverse as the Timaliidae ( Old World babblers ) ( another " wastebin taxon " containing more thrush-like forms ), the frontiers between the former " pan-Muscicapidae " were much blurred.

Cibois suggested that the Sylviidae should officially be suppressed by the ICZN as a taxon and the genus Sylvia merged into the Timaliidae ( Cibois 2003b ), but doubts remained.

The genus was described by Alcide d ' Orbigny in 1834 when Delphinus geoffrensis, described by Henri Marie Ducrotay de Blainville in 1817, was recognized to be a unique taxon.

This demonstrated that the Muscicapidae as initially defined were a form taxon which collected entirely unrelated songbirds.

It was initially named P. brehmii, but the type specimen of that taxon is not an Iberian Chiffchaff.

" Siaphos " tridigitus, initially placed here, is now reassigned to the " wastebin taxon " Sphenomorphus pending a review of that assemblage.

One (" NUMT ") was initially dismissed as a numt pseudogene combined with sequencing error but may represent a hitherto unrecognized taxon.
