Summary A ‘new taxon’ is not, or only rarely, a newly evolved taxon whilst a new species is new only in a nomenclatural sense or, as it was phrased in earlier generations “new to science”. The indication “nom. nov.” must be regarded as a technical term indicating a new name replacing an old one which is illegitimate under the Code.
