chronospecies
chronospecies (evolutionary species) According to one view of evolution (that of phyletic gradualism), a new organism may be derived from its ancestor by a process of slow, steady evolutionary change. Conceivably, the descended organism might not be regarded as a member of the same species as its ancestor, in which case it would constitute a new species, in particular a chronospecies.
