What does COTYPE mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
One of the specimens from which a species was first described, kept as a reference for its identity.
In taxonomy a species is tied to real specimens, and when the original author based the description on several of them rather than a single one, each is called a cotype. Later scientists consult a cotype in a museum collection to settle doubts about what a name really refers to. Modern practice prefers a single designated type, so the term belongs mostly to older literature.
