THE HINCKELHAUGH INSECT IN JOHN RAY'S POSTHUMOUS WORK, HISTORIA INSECTORUM, 1710

摘要

Modern-day naturalists are familiar with the name Linnaeus (Carl von Linne) (1707-1778), and know of his system and method for plant and animal classification, part of which advocated the use of binominal nomenclature Linnaeus eventually became consistent in his use of binominal nomenclature, but only over a period of many years, and several publications. In his earlier scientific works, he embraced the polynomial, or phrase-name, system used by his immediate predecessors and contemporaries, and used up to twelve words for the species element, following one word for the genus (Pont, 1996).
