<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>In [[ICZN|zoology]], a '''trinomen''', or trinominal name, refers to the name of a [[subspecies]]. <br /> <br /> A trinomen is a name consisting of three names: [[generic name]], [[specific name]] and [[subspecific name]]. All three names are typeset in italics, and only the generic name is capitalised. No indicator of rank is included: in zoology, subspecies is the only rank below that of species. <br /> <br /> :''Buteo jamaicensis borealis'' is one of the subspecies of the red-tailed hawk. (''Buteo jamaicensis''). <br /> <br /> If the generic and specific name have already been mentioned in the same paragraph, they are often abbreviated to initial letters: for example one might write, &quot;The [[Great Cormorant]] ''Phalacrocorax carbo'' has a distinct subspecies in [[Australasia]], the Black Shag ''P. c. novaehollandiae''&quot;. <br /> <br /> In a [[alpha taxonomy|taxonomic]] publication, a name is incomplete without an author citation and publication details. This indicates who published the name; in what publication; with the date of the publication.<br /> <br /> :''Phalacrocorax carbo novaehollandiae'' Stephens, 1826<br /> <br /> It must be noted that while binomial nomenclature came into being and immediately gained widespread acceptance in the mid-[[18th century]], it was not until the early [[20th century]] that the current unified standard of trinomial nomenclature was agreed upon, mainly due to its tireless promotion by [[Elliott Coues]]. See Allen (1884) for an example of the state of the debate and competing approaches in the late [[19th century]]. Thus, when referring especially European works of the preceding era, remember that the nomenclature used is usually not in accord with contemporary standards.<br /> <br /> ==See also==<br /> * [[binominal nomenclature]]<br /> * in plants, an [[infraspecific taxon]] gets a three part name, a [[ternary name]].<br /> * [[forms in zoological literature]]<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> * '''Allen''', J.
