ocellatus seems to be connected somehow with the peephole (drawing element)

06.11.2007 19:20, AntSkr

not that, I'm not asking the translation, but why are the names different in different sources? the view is the same!

06.11.2007 19:25, Ilia Ustiantcev

The author himself does not know what ending to give to the form!

But in fact, everyone probably doesn't care, it's unlikely that Malacosoma castrense and castrensis will be in the same genus...

I thought about what topic to write in, I'll write here, if anything, let the moderator move it somewhere.
What is the reason for the different spelling of the specific names of many species: palpina - palpinum, ocellata-ocellatus, castrense-castrensis, and many others?

This is more in the topic of Latin rules

It can be assumed that the differences are related to the assignment to different genera( genera), hence the different genera (grammatical) in the specific names. It was a pun intended.

Really? For example, here is a list of synonyms from Yandex. Metrica:
Carcharodus floccifera (Zeller, 1847)
SEU, Bulgaria, S.Siberia, Asia Minor. See [About maps]
Tufted Skipper Piquitos serrana Warcabnik szantawiec
Hesperia floccifera Zeller, 1847; Isis Jena, 1847 (1): 286, TL: Syracuse, Sicily
Papilio altheae Hübner, [1800-1803]; Samml. eur. Schmett. [1] : pl. 90 (1800-1803), (preocc. Papilio altheae Esper, [1783]) f. 452-453,
Carcharodus imperator Hemming, 1934; Stylops 3: 99 (repl. Papilio altheae Hübner, [1800-1803])
alchymillae Hemming, 1936
gemina Lederer, 1852
and not a hint of flocciferus!

and not a hint of flocciferus!

And the devil only knows! I would like to assume that Carcharodus is clearly masculine or neuter, then why floccifera, and not flocciferus? On the other hand, in 1847, the rules of Latin grammar were generally known.

It is possible that the gender of the word was not specified when describing the generic epithet. Or someone forgot it later

08.11.2007 0:03, Fornax13

Yeah... I was surprised to learn that the unfortunate Platysoma minus in the latest catalog should be called Eblisia minor.

What do you think of Achaeta domesticUS?

13.11.2007 2:31, Juglans

Carcharodus is masculine, it's just that they forgot to change the ending when translating to this gender.

This year, a new ichneumonid genus, Terminator Humala, was described with the species T. orientalis and T. notabilis

I don't think they did. There is a mottled moth in East Asia Pidorus atratus

All attention!!!
Here is the most fun Latin name!
The crested Neodrymonia hui flies in China. Just hui.
Damn, I want this

20.11.2007 19:57, Pavel Morozov

Can you imagine, hui flew into the light!
I would like to know the etymology.

Finally, the PPC

I suspected that there is such a name

Schintlmeister & Fang, 2001
New and less known Notodontidae from mainland China
Neue Entomologische Nachrichten, 50: 3-141

Should write, I think in the article..

20.11.2007 22:36, Pavel Morozov

I have this book. About the etymology of this species there is not a word.
I assume that this butterfly was named like this: when analyzing the material, the question arose: "who is this? and fuck knows!"
I guess so.

In honor of the first author, in any case, I found only him in connection with the crested

Gee-y-y. How do Russian specialists communicate with him?

21.11.2007 3:24, Ekos

What do you think of the Amazon catfish genus Aspidoras?

21.11.2007 3:33, Ekos

Or Hawaiian wasp Odynerus oahuensis

There is also Drosophila oahuensis

I just ride with them

21.11.2007 3:38, Ekos

But the New Guinea fig wasp Kradibia ohuensis just finishes me

Morozzz:
this crested bird is probably named after some scientist

21.11.2007 21:24, AntSkr

There also seems to be a link given that in honor of Hui-Lin Han'a

I wonder if the Chinese themselves suspect that their names are swear words for someone???

Cool, probably: "Hi, Li-Czhuan. "Hey, Hui!."

all complaints are addressed to folk craftsmen who invent names

28.11.2007 4:55, Ekos

There is an old name for one of the marshmallows (it is found in books on zoogeography DV A. I. Kurentsov). It sounds like Zephyrus ibara

Is like Gonerillia melpomene now or some relative of it.

28.11.2007 9:52, omar

Maybe butterflies crushed into powder give the desired effect?

28.11.2007 10:05, Ekos

Maybe

Or maybe the butterfly stinks so much that a person is immediately drugged

I don't know if anyone wrote-cocoonworm Pyrosis idiota.

Not quite in the subject of the truth... On the page
http://www.naukaspb.ru/Red_books/LO3/red_spisok.html
carefully read the names of the authors who described the species
Gnophos obfuscata, Horisme tersata, Horisme vitalbata, Acronicta strigosa, and Mythimna pudorina.

Poor Denis. Thank God Schiffermuller wasn't turned over. I wanted to know about this entomologist in the name of protection , but I couldn't find a line from his biography. But he did a good job and described quite a few taxa. Who has biographical information-post here!

Another blow was delivered in euphonious Latin… A new genus and species of fossil elephants have been described: the genus is named after Eritrea, and the species is named after the farmer in whose garden the bones were found:
Eritreum melakeghebrekristosi
