A specimen from a group that includes the one designated as the nomenclatural type of a species in its first description, but not the type itself.
1893O. Thomas in Proc. Zool. Soc. 242 Since the other specimens mentioned or enumerated.. in the original description are of unquestionably great value in a typical sense, they ought also to have a name and might be called ‘para-types’ (or side-types). Ibid., A Para-type is a specimen belonging to the original series but not the type, in cases where the author has himself selected a type. It should, however, be one of the specimens mentioned or enumerated in the original description. 1914Brit. Mus. Return 171 in Parl.

Code Zool. Nomencl. xvi. 79 After the holotype has been labelled, each remaining specimen (if any) of the type-series should be conspicuously labelled ‘paratype’, in order clearly to identify the components of the original type-series. 1971Nature 30 July 311/2 It [sc. the skull of a fossil hominid] resembles the paratype from Bed II (Olduvai H. 13) in both cranial and dental characters. |
