| description | The zoological nomenclature, as codified by the respective International Commission, should be known and followed by all zoologists and by all those who have to name animal species in their works or publications. However, many are those who ignore it and there are even more than a few zoologists who disregard it. The proof that it is ignored is evident in many teaching texts, especially in parositology, and in many scientific papers in journals of medicine, biology, and so on.
Much of the blame for this ignorance lies with our schools and faculties where little or nothing is required of such a fundamental subject that should be included in the teaching of biological sciences. On the other hand, those who wish to learn about nomenclatory issues find that there is an astonishing bibliographic poverty on the subject, derived from the scarce interest among zoologists to comment on such issues.
For these reasons we have decided to publish the international code of zoological nomenclature updated, but in the particular form that the reader will see, and also augmented with additions and glosses. In addition, we thought it would be of interest to publish beforehand a historical sketch as an introduction. We have adapted such a criterion because this work is intended especially for students and those just initiated in zoological studies. They would not read, because of its dryness, a literal translation of the official code, composed of a multitude of articles, paragraphs and "recommendations". We assure you that we have faithfully included in this version all the essential contents of the code. For ease of reference, an analytical index has been added at the end, and those items of lesser interest have been written in small type.
We would like to thank Dr. Angel Cabrera, member of the International Commission of Zoological Nomenclature and professor at the Universities of Buenos Aires and La Plata, for his valuable information. |

La nomenclatura zoológica, tal como está codificada por la Comisión Internacional respectiva, debiera ser conocida y acatada por todos los zoólogos y por todos los que deben en trabajos o publicaciones nombrar a especies animales. Sin embargo, muchos son los que la ignoran y hasta hay no pocos zoólogos que la menosprecian. La prueba de que se la ignora la tenemos manifiesta en muchos textos de enseñanza, especialmente de parositología, y en multitud de trabajos científicos insertos en revistas de medicina, biología, etcétera. Mucha culpa de esta ignorancia la tienen nuestros colegios y facultades donde poco o nada se exige de una materia tan fundamental que debiera estar inclusa en la enseñanza de las ciencias biológicas. Por otra parte, los que desean enterarse de cuestiones nomenclatorias se dan con que existe sobre el particular una asombrosa pobreza bibliográfica, derivada del escaso interés que hay entre los zoólogos de comentar dichas cuestiones. Por tales razones decidimos publicar el código internacional de nomenclatura zoológica puesto al día, pero revestido de, la forma particular que verá el lector, y aumentado, asimismo, con adiciones y glosas. Además, hemos creído interesante publicar previamente un bosquejo histórico a modo de introducción. Adaptamos tal criterio porque este trabajo se destina especialmente a los estudiantes y a los recién iniciados en los estudios zoológicos. Ellos no leerían, por lo árido, una traducción literal del código oficial, compuesto de multitud de artículos, incisos y "recomendaciones". Aseguramos que hemos incluido con fidelidad en esta versión todo lo esencial del contenido de dicho código. A fin de facilitar su consulta agregamos al final un índice analítico y además se escriben con caracteres pequeños aquellos puntos que tienen menor interés. Debemos agradecer al miembro de la Comisión Internacional de nomenclatura Zoológica y profesor de las Universidades de Buenos Aires y La Plata, Dr. Ángel Cabrera, sus valiosas informaciones.
