Definition from University of Washington :
A specimen subsequently selected from the paratypes to serve as the holotype in the absence of the bona fide holotype. A single specimen subsequently selected from a cotype or syntype series; equivalent of a holotype.

  • A lectotype may be chosen from the original illustrated specimens, taking the original description into full account. All specimens associated with the lectotype remain syntypes. Victoria University of Wellington
  • A lectotype and an allolectotype were selected to establish the taxonomic base for the genus. A ruling has been requested from the International Commission of Zoological Nomenclature on the disposition of the neotype. Journal of Nematology
  • The valid designation of a lectotype fixes the status of the specimen as the sole name-bearing type of that nominal taxon; no later designation of a lectotype has any validity. Int. Commission Zoological Nomenclature

Definition from Chinese Biodiversity Information System:
后选模式标本(选定模式标本)(lectotype)当发表新分类群时,著作未曾指定主模式标本(holotype)或主模式已遗失或损坏时,是后来的作者根据原始资料,在等模式(isotype)或依次从合模式(syntype)、副模式(paratype)、新模式(neotype)和原产地模式标本(topotype)中,选定1份作为命名模式的标本,即为后选模式标本。
