What English word would you use to describe a particular example of a type constructor, in the sense that `List[Int]` and `List[String]` are examples of `List`s? I'd like to avoid calling them "examples" if possible.

I don't know if you nailed it already with "example", or maybe "sample", because, that's what it is?
Example is quite close to the best I've heard... though I'm still tempted by "variant"...

Variant makes me feel like it's an alternative to some sort of default type.

Yes, I see your point. I hope that it would imply the default of being unspecified, though...maybe?

Incarnation ?

It's edgy; I like it! The origin of the word is interesting, too. It literally means (of a soul, or suchlike) "put into meat"...
