From joint-act hypothesis: images share the exemplar's cult genus—dulia, hyperdulia, even latria
If one act covers image and exemplar, images share the exemplar's cult genus.
Saints' images: dulia; Mary's: hyperdulia; God's and Christ's: latria—as Aquinas and most Scholastics teach.
Latin
LVI. Porro ex hac hypothesi, quod imago possit & debeat, uno eodemque adorationis actu cum exemplari ipso coli, sequitur, imagines coli posse & debere eodem genere cultus, quo colitur ipsum exemplar. Ac proinde sanctorum imagines coli posse dulia, qui est cultus sanctis peculiaris: Imagines vero Beatae Virginis coli posse hyperdulia, qui cultus est ipsi proprius; ac tandem imagines Dei Christique coli posse latria, qui cultus est Deo debitus; quod etiam fatentur & docent cum Thoma Aquinate plerique Scholastici.
