<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>This paper comments on recently revived discussion about the most adequate definition of homology.

Dependent on the level of comparison four types of homology are defined: (1) Iterative ( = serial = homonomy), (2) ontogenetic, (3) di‐ or polymorphic, and (4) supraspecific homology. The significance of all four types for evolutionary biology and phylogenetic analysis is outlined.</jats:p>
