2496: 25: 2507: 481:. In such a case, it is notationally convenient to consolidate the definitions into one definition that is expressed with multiple genera (and possibly no differentia, as in the following): 1216: 543: 563: 142:(or family): An existing definition that serves as a portion of the new definition; all definitions with the same genus are considered members of that genus. 129: 2029: 1209: 42: 89: 61: 1782: 2557: 1202: 981:
As in that example, the identity itself (or some part of it) is often used to refer to the entire individual, a phenomenon that is known in

When multiple definitions could serve equally well, then all such definitions apply simultaneously. Thus,
