Paratype
Paratype is a technical term used in the scientific naming of species and other taxa of organisms. The exact meaning of the term paratype when it is used in zoology is not the same as the meaning when it is used in botany. In both cases however, this term is used in conjunction with another term, holotype. The term refers to type material, an actual specimen or specimens of the organism in question on deposit, usually in a museum research collection, in order to help define what the taxon actually represents. Often there is more than one paratype, although there can be only one holotype.
Entomology
