Grammatical gender Copied from Mikrotax: According to ICZN 30.1.4.4. A compound genus-group name ending in the suffix -ites, -oides, -ides, -odes, or -istes is to be treated as masculine unless its author, when establishing the name, stated that it had another gender or treated it as such by combining it with an adjectival species-group name in another gender form.
Zhang & Scott 1995 described two species in the genus - P. dalhousei and P. primitiva. The name dalhousei is based ultimately on the name of a person and so does not agree with the genus. The name primitiva, however, is an adjective and is feminine, hence Zhang & Scott when establishing the name Protentelloides treated it as feminine.
