  4. Take Home Message…. • Names are ambiguous unless cited in the context of the classification. • Aus aus has 3 different meanings • Aus bea has 2 different meanings but things that might have been called Aus bea might also have been called Aus beus or Xus beus… • Matching of data on taxonomic names can result in erroneous interpretations of data. • Taxon Concepts - Taxon Names as defined by a taxonomist in a given revision or taxonomic description – are more appropriate “names” for identifying organisms.
