syntype

Any one of two or more specimens or other material (descriptions, illustrations, etc.) designated by an author in the original publication of the name of a taxon. As a taxon can only have one type, a *lectotype can subsequently be chosen from a group of syntypes to serve as the nomenclatural *type.
