学名では二名法を用いており、動植物では属名+種小名が、細菌では属名+種形容語が種名である。種小名又は種形容語の部分のみを指して種名というのは誤りである。

  Comments:
Just noting that the JEs only have "specific name" for 種名 but in zoology this often refers to the second part of the name of a species (after the genus name) whereas 種名 always refers to the full binomial name.
