Grammatical gender Three of the Valettiopsis species names (dentata, anacantha, multidentata) have been corrected to give the epithets feminine terminations. Holmes (1908) derived the name Valettiopsis ' ... from Valettia, a genus of Amphipods, and 'opsis', 'appearance'. Greek nouns ending in ops, genitive opsis, are feminine and adjectival specific names must agree in gender with their genus name (International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, Articles 11 (g) (I) (1), 34 (b)).
