Grammatical gender As 'scolex' meaning worm is a masculine Greek noun (fide Brown, 1956) then Typhloscolex must be masculine. However, Treadwell (1943 with 'paucichaeta') and Friedrich (1950 with 'robusta') appear to have incorrectly created adjectival species names with feminine suffixes. [details]
