Which are the rules regarding places to deposit Holotypes?
Can anyone deposit a Holotype on a private museum? If not (I hope not....), which are the rules to
such museum to be a legalized institution?
I have seen paratypes in private collections but I wonder if a holotype not deposited on an official
institution can invalidate the description of a new species.
