Sp. (pl. spp.; short for "species") indicates potentially new species without remarking on its possible affinity. This suggests either that identification has not yet been completed or that currently available evidence and material are insufficient to allocate the specimens to relevant known taxa, or alternatively, that as yet the specimen ...
The abbreviation for species is sp. (plural spp.) and is used after a generic epithet to indicate a species of that genus. Often used to denote a strain of a genus for which the species is not known either because the organism has not been described yet as a species or insufficient tests were conducted to identify it.
Both codes consider the first part of the two-part name for a species to be the "generic name". In the zoological code (ICZN), the second part of the name is a "specific name". In the botanical code (ICNafp), it is a "specific epithet". Together, these two parts are referred to as a "species name" or "binomen" in the zoological code: or ...
species aggregate or aggregate species: a grouping of closely related species that are treated like a single species for practical purposes; alliance: a group of species or genera that have at some time been considered provisionally related; conspecific: of the same species; e. g. of two taxa previously thought to be different species
Species affinis (commonly abbreviated to: sp., aff., or affin. ) is taxonomic terminology in zoology and botany . In open nomenclature it indicates that available material or evidence suggests that the proposed species is related to, has an affinity to, but is not identical to, the species with the binomial name it comes after.

Capnocytophaga spp. are fusiform Gram-negative bacilli, and they are part of the oral commensal flora. Microscopic observation revealed a high degree of polymorphism with a variation in the size and appearance depending on the strain and culture conditions. This polymorphism is also reflected in the observation of colonies (orange-pigmented ...
Alexandrium minutum species complex includes A. lusitanicum, A. angustitabulatum, A. minutum, A. andersonii, A. tamutum, and A. insuetum. The main difference between this group and the tamarense species complex, is that the A. minutum group species are much smaller and the development of toxicity is much variable, even between different strains ...
Until recently, the taxonomic description and position of C. kahawae was a subject of great confusion. From the range of Colletotrichum spp. that are isolated from coffee plants, four groups were initially described based on their morphological traits: CCM (C. coffeanum mycelial), CCA (C. coffeanum acervuli), CCP (C. coffeanum pink) and the Coffee berry disease (CBD) strain.
