FIRST PAGE TEXT:
 
“A holotype is a single physical example of an organism known to have been used when the species was formally described. It is either the single such physical example or one of several such, but explicitly designated as the holotype.
 
Designation of an illustration of a single specimen as a holotype is to be treated as designation of the specimen illustrated; the fact that the specimen no longer exists or cannot be traced does not itself invalidate the designation.”
