Rule 26

A name of a new taxon, or a new combination for an existing taxon, is not validly published unless the following criteria are met:

1. The name is effectively published under the rules of the SeqCode.
2. The name is registered in the SeqCode Registry, along with mandatory data fields listed below.
3. The type of the taxon is clearly designated. In the case of species or subspecies, the type sequence is deposited according to Rule 18a and the accession number cited.
4. The taxonomic rank is designated.
5. The derivation (etymology) of a new name (and if necessary of a new combination) is given wherein one or more distinguishable roots are identified. Roots can originate from any language in use or extinct (see also Recommendation 9).

Note 1. When a new species or a new combination results in the proposal of a new genus, both the new genus name and the new species name or the new combination must be validly published. Publication of the new species epithet or new combination alone does not constitute valid publication of the new genus name.

Note 2. When possible, authors are recommended to include the SeqCode Registry identifier in the effective publication.

Note 3. If the information provided in the registration and the effective publication differ, the registration is considered definitive.
