Typenkatalog Mammalia (Säugetiere)
Mammalia (Säugetiere) (nur englische Version) (58 KB)In accordance with Recommendation 72G (4) of the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN) (1985), an annotated list of type specimens of Mammalia in the Natural History Museum Basel (NMB) has been prepared and is presented here. Type designations have not always been specified, especially in older literature, and the categories currently in use have not always applied, so this catalogue aims to clarify the type designations of as many of the specimens as possible, many of which are simply labelled "Typus":
Holotype: a single specimen established as the name-bearing type of a species or subspecies at the time of description (includes sole specimens upon which taxa have been based where no type was specified) (Article 73a).
Lectotype: a syntype designated as the name-bearing type at some point subsequent to the original publication of the description of the species or subspecies (Article 74).
Syntype: any specimen of a type series where no holotype or lectotype have been designated. This has sometimes been referred to as "cotype" (Article 73b).
Paralectotype: any specimen of a syntype series, other than the lectotype, where a lectotype has been designated (Article 74a iv).
Paratype: any specimen of a type series other than the holotype (Article 72a iii; Recommendation 73D).

This catalogue lists all the type specimens of Mammalia in the NMB. The list is arranged alphabetically by family.
Information about each type specimen has been taken directly from the original description or, in the case of lectotypes and paralectotypes, from both the original and subsequent type description where both are known. The specimens themselves were then inspected and any further information included here. The specimens are all located in the Zoology Department of the museum, but most skulls or skeletons belonging to the skins are in the Osteology Department. The reference numbers for these skulls or skeletons are given in round brackets (skull Ost.XXXX) after the reference number for the skin.
Additional geographical information, such as countries, regions, etc. or current place names if different from those in the original description, are given in square brackets [ ]. Map co-ordinates are given where possible, but it should be noted that these are often approximate. Any further information, such as collection date, which was not given in the original description but which is available, is also included here in square brackets.
If different from the type name, the current name is given in the "Comments" section.
