[Syrphidae] Re: Syrphidae Digest, Vol 169, Issue 1

Dear Bastiaan,
the rule for suffix of latin species names is not so clear. Sometimes also species name is noun with their own gender.
So It is not possible to use gender of generic name, for example see my commetns below.
However Musca generic name is femininum as the generic name Leucozona, so Musca laternatia is correct.
 
With best wishes Libor
 
 
For exampel here is my comments to Parasyrphus lineola name:
The Latin name of this species is often erroneously cited as “Parasyrphus lineolus” in recent literature also in Speight (2018). But Latin word "lineola" is a Latin noun that means "a little line". This Latin noun has its own feminine gender according to Latin grammar. So it is not possible to use this Latin feminine noun with masculine suffix as it is used for adjectives.

 Hi all,
 
 Happy new year (for whom it may concern ;-)
 
 A new years question:
 
 I am looking for a list of all genera with there gender. Or is there a 
 general rule I can interpret it from the genus name?
 
 I like to keep only protonym (original combination) intact plus the + 
 specific name without the gender part in the database so I never have to 
 change it again. Then I will link them to their current accepted parent. 
 Based of the parent 'genus' name gender I can create the current 
 accepted name.
 
 I guess from what I understood so far is that the subgenus name does not 
 effect the specific name? Like in Leucozona laternaria?
 
 As example where the specific_name changes:
 
 Musca fasciolata  --> Chrysotoxum fasciolatum
 Musca laternarius --> Leucozona (Ischyrosyrphus) laternaria
 
 In Systema Dipterorum for example all of the four above mentioned names 
 are stored. (and this on their turn slipped down into different websites 
 gbif inaturalist etc.)
 
 Any thoughts on this?
 
 Cheers,
 Bastiaan
