The authorized ReferenceSpeciesScheme provides reference species list which defines the ReferenceSpeciesName with its scientific name plus author and ReferenceSpeciesId.

referenceSpeciesScheme | -- Name --
reference species scheme
Reference list defining a nomenclatural and taxonomical standard to which all local names and taxonomic concepts shall be mapped.
Code list of accepted PAN-European taxonomical reference lists defining the nomenclature and taxonomical concept of a given species name. This must not be regarded as the ultimate taxonomic truth: this will always change. It serves as a definition of a taxonomic concept described by systematic and synonym relations where other names and there inherent taxonomic concepts can be mapped to. The code list comprises of Eu-Nomen, EUNIS and Natura2000. In these sources harmonized species GUIDs and names are maintained by institutions with an assignment outside INSPIRE and the species names are to be retrieved through webservices using GUIDs. Only one of these list must be used for one taxon. The priority is as follows: 1) EU-Nomen, 2) EUNIS, 3) Natura2000. This implies: if a taxon is listed in EU-Nomen, this reference must be used as first choice. If it is not listed in EU-Nomen, the second choice is EUNIS, if not in EUNIS, Natura2000 can be used. | ReferenceSpeciesSchemeValue

NOTE 1 Only species are mentioned in the INSPIRE definition. But earlier INSPIRE documents (INPIRE IMS, 2003) mentions both species or species grouped e.g. to families.
