Different specimens can be classified as:
Holotype: The specimen used by the author as the type specimen for description of a new name
Isotype: Specimen which is duplicate of holotype
Lectotype: A type which is declared later from the original material if the type specimen is not described, missing or damaged
Isolectotype: Duplicate of lectotype
Syntype: Any specimen which is cited in the protologue if no holotype is designated
Paratype: Any specimen cited in the protologue which is neither holo, iso or syntype
Neotype: Material which is designated as type if all material for original nomenclature is missing
Epitype: A material designated as type if all other are missing or damaged
