In many dictionaries, definitions or translations (often for plants and animals and that kind of stuff) will have a Latin name or classification attached to it...

I would probably call this ...

Note to self: ask Ana to send you Portuguese examples.

To be discussed...

term or name (for latin names of animals etc) Opt for term! <term> contains a single-word, multi-word, or symbolic designation which is regarded as a technical term <name> (name, proper noun) contains a proper noun or noun phrase.

Toma and I agree that <term> is a good thing to have.
