Guidelines - 21.1. The addition of basionyms is supported for all species-level taxa (`a`, `ae`, `c`, `w`). - 21.2. Basionyms must be placed AFTER all common names, but BEFORE all microspecies or subspecies, and references. -- 21.3. A basionym genus must always be the first element of a BAS data pair, therefore be followed by a BAS_AUT. These two data points belong together and should not be separated! +- 21.3.
