Abstract

In view of the current confusion about the correct gender of genus names ending on , and possible confusion in the future for genus names ending on , we propose non-retroactive addenda to Rule 65(2) and Appendix 9 of the International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes so that new genera to be formed by adding the ending to the stem of an existing genus name or another (Neo-) Latin word must be treated as neuter and genus names ending on – are to be treated as feminine.
