For the circumstances in which certain species-group names are partly excluded from the application of the Principle of Priority see Articles 23.7.3 and 23.8. For the circumstances in which certain genus-group names are excluded from application of the Principle of Priority see Articles 20 and 23.7.Ģ3.1.4. For the case of disused family-group names which are homonyms see Article 55.3.1.1.Ģ3.1.3. ![]() For exceptions for certain family-group names see Articles 35.5 and 40.Ģ3.1.2. For this reason priority applies to the validity of synonyms, to the relative precedence of homonyms, the correctness or otherwise of spellings, and to the validity of nomenclatural acts (such as acts taken under the Principle of the First Reviser and the fixation of name-bearing types ).Ģ3.1.1. The valid name of a taxon is the oldest available name applied to it, unless that name has been invalidated or another name is given precedence by any provision of the Code or by any ruling of the Commission.
