taxon in which a registered genus-group name is placed, where that
family-group name is known;
17.1.4. cross-reference to registration entry for name of genus-group
taxon in which a registered genus-group name established at a subgeneric
rank or species-group name is placed;
17.1.5. cross-reference to registration entry for name of species-group
taxon in which a registered name established at the rank of subspecies
is placed.
17.2. Requirements for registration of names. Registration
entries for all names, whether published before 2008 and retrospectively
registered [Arts. 17.4, 17.5], or newly proposed after 2007 shall
include, in addition to the items listed in Article 17.1, the following:
17.2.1. complete spelling of the name, in accordance with rules
established in Articles 25 through 49;
17.2.2. cross-reference to registration entry for name-bearing
type genus [Art. 63] for new names proposed or published as family-group
taxa or for name-bearing type species [Art. 67] for new names proposed
or published as genus-group taxa, or indication of name-bearing
type specimen [Art. 72] for new names proposed or published as
species-group taxa [see Article 61.5].
17.2.3. cross-reference to registration entry or entries for names
of one or more taxa from which the newly proposed taxon is distinguished;
17.2.4. description or diagnosis that states in words the characters
that are purported to differentiate the taxon [Art. 13.1.1].
17.3. Requirements for registration of nomenclatural acts. Registration
entries for all nomenclatural acts, whether published before 2008
and retrospectively registered [Arts. 17.4, 17.5], or newly proposed

acts published before 2008. Except as indicated in Article

published before 2008. However, the official ICZN registry of zoological
nomenclature accommodates voluntary retrospective registration
of names and nomenclatural acts published before 2008. Such retrospective
registration shall include, in addition to the items listed in
Articles 17.1 through 17.3 (as applicable), the following:
