List of short species names

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Living organisms are known by scientific names. These binomial names can vary greatly in length, and some can be very short; genus or species names composed of only one letter are not allowed by any of the nomenclature codes, but any combination of two letters and above can be valid if it has not been previously used. This list of shortest species names lists the scientific binomials with the fewest letters.[1] The longest scientific species names can be found in the List of long species names.

  1. ^ However, "πιεζοσ" is not a Greek word; this must be the result of a misreading. The Ancient Greek verb is πιέζω.
