  • This controlled list is based on a custom controlled list in the UCJeps deployment.
  • The PAHMA list was modified largely following the conventions in Bengtson (1988) and Darwin Core.

    aff. (species)

     

    closely related to, but distinct from another species (e.g., Agenus aff. aspecies).

    cf. (genus)

     

    compares favorably with another genus, but ID is provisional (e.g., cf. Agenus aspecies).

    cf. (species)

     

    compares favorably with another species, but ID is provisional (e.g., Agenus cf. aspecies).

    indet.

     

    generic identification is impossible or has not been attempted (e.g., Afamily indet.).

    sp. indet.

     

    specific identification is impossible or has not been attempted (e.g., Agenus sp. indet.).

    sp. nov. (or n. sp.)

     

    species is a new, as-yet-unnamed species (e.g., Agenus sp. nov.).

    ?

     

    expresses uncertainty of attribution

    sensu latu
