Glyphoidy, a new nomenclatural concept

The concept of glyphoidy is introduced to account for the different ways of writing zoological nomina, regarding their type face, the size of their first letter, the presence of diacritic marks or diphthongs, their original writing as two parts referring to a single entity, or their inclusion between punctuation marks. Various categories of glyphs are distinguished, and the Rules of Chapter 7 of the Code for their writing are reminded.

Abstract

The concept of glyphoidy is introduced to account for the different ways of writing zoological nomina, regarding their type face, the size of their first letter, the presence of diacritic marks or diphthongs, their original writing as two parts referring to a single entity, or their inclusion between punctuation marks. Various categories of glyphs are distinguished, and the Rules of Chapter 7 of the Code for their writing are reminded.
