Scope note(s)
- Code: Nomen oblitum (Definition by Hawksworth 2010): Applied after 1 January 2000 to a name, unused since 1899, which as a result of an action taken under the Code does not take precedence over a younger synonym or homonym in prevailing usage; the younger name that takes precedence over the nomen oblitum may be called a nomen protectum; the term nomen oblitum was also applied to a disused senior synonym rejected between 6 November 1961 and 1 January 1973 under the Code editions then in force; nomina oblita remain available names unless a junior synonym has been used more than a specified number of times in the immediately preceding 50 years (i.e. 25 works published by at least 10 authors and encompassing a span of not less than 10 years).
