sequences. A rationale for this rather unorthodox approach to species description is offered, and some philosophical
questions about whether or not such descriptions are desirable are addressed. It is emphasized that while these descriptions
fix the nomenclatural problem raised by reference to ‘ten species’ in the literature, the application of names to concepts
does not corroborate or endorse the biological validity of those concepts.
