The following information is about Type.

Type Defined

The type specimen of a species is the actual insect from which the original description of that species was produced. If several specimens were used for this purpose, one of them should have been designated as the type. Because the type can be of only one sex, it is usual to designate a certain individual of the opposite sex as the allotype. The original type specimen is then called the holotype. These ‘type specimens' are very important in taxonomy and classification.

This definition is in context to Entomological. See more contextual defintions for Type.
