SV: paleonet meaning of "partim"

["Cuny, Gilles" <Gilles@xxxxxxxxx>]

Partim means, in your example, that only a part of the material that was originally referred to as Ingenia yanshini belongs indeed to Conchoraptor gracilis. Rest of the material belong to a different taxon (either Ingenia or a different one, I don't know this particular example).
Hope this helps,
All the best,
Gilles.
