Type Collection
ABBM also has collections of scientifically valuable type (Holotype, Paratype) materials.
Holotype
It is a single physical specimen identified as the primary specimen of a newly described species. When a scientist discovers and formally describes a new species, he usually chooses a single specimen as the holotype. This specimen serves as a reference point for that species, and other specimens can be compared to it to determine whether they belong to the same species.
The holotype is very important in determining the scientific name of the species and describing its features. It is usually stored in a museum or other institution, where it can be preserved and studied by other scientists. The process of determining a holotype is an important step in the taxonomic classification of living organisms and provides clarity and consistency in identifying species.

Paratype
A complementary specimen or specimens, in addition to the holotype, used to support the description of a new species. Like the holotype, paratypes are initially collected and studied as part of the process of formally defining a new species in taxonomy. Paratypes provide additional examples of species and help illustrate variability within species.
While the holotype is the primary reference specimen of a species, paratypes are also considered important because they contribute to the overall understanding of the species and help scientists recognize the range of morphological variations that may exist. Paratypes are often kept in museums or other scientific institutions along with the holotype, and they serve as a way for other researchers to verify and study the characteristics of identified species.
