MAJOR RULES IN NOMENCLATURE
RULE 1 Names should be written in latin
RULE 3
Because the words are Latinized, they should always be
italicized
RULE 4
When the scientific names are written by hand, each separate
word should be underlined
RULE 5
The first name to be validly and effectively published gets the priority.
This rule has caused numerous name changes, particularly on fossil
organisms
RULE 6 All taxa must have an author when described. For example,
Homo Sapiens L, the L stands for Linneaus who first
successfully described and named the organism
