'''Introduction'''

This page is designed to provide the person transcribing specimen data with a bit of information about identifying and interpreting taxonomic names.

Specimens are generally identified in one of two ways:
# A header label on a unit tray indicating the identification of all the specimens within the box
# A determination label attached to the specimen or a preceding specimen in which the identifier indicated a series of specimens were being identified by turning the determination label

== Taxonomic name structure ==
=== Order ===
For insects, tends to end in ''ptera'' but is not a requirement for a name of an order.

''Examples:'' Hymenoptera, Coleoptera, Diptera, Hemiptera

=== Superfamily ===
Superfamily names end in ''oidea'' but some, not many, generic names also share the same ending. Identifications may also use the nominal form by omitting ''ea'' at the end (''platygastroids'', etc.)

''Examples:'' Platygastroidea, Chalcidoidea, Proctotrupoidea, Vespoidea
