Abstract
Abstract. Homonyms, if based on different types and recognized at the same rank, may be created either unintentionally or deliberately. Identical infrageneric names of the same genus or identical infraspecific names of the same species may be homonyms, even if they differ in rank. Although later homonymy usually causes illegitimacy, the provisions on homonymy do not apply to infrafamilial names, such as tribes. Simultaneously published homonyms may be legitimate.
