Nomenclature: On the correct spelling of L. v-niger. ICZN Article 32.5.2.4.3: If the first element is a Latin letter used to denote descriptively a character of the taxon, it must be retained and connected to the remainder of the name by a hyphen. ICZN Article 34.2: The ending of a Latin or latinized adjectival or participial species-group name must agree in gender with the generic name with which it is at any time combined; if the gender ending is incorrect it must be changed accordingly (the author and date of the name remain unchanged). |
