I checked the ICZN 2000 and syntype is still there: A syntype is any single
specimen of a type series. Sure wish I had checked this before working off
the top of my head; I'd have been more precise. I'm going to change "syntype
series" to "type series" globally in The Dinosaur Catalogue, since that's the
current ICZN usage.
