Pseudobranchiomma is neuter. Adjectival gender suffix of Pseudobranchiomma serratibranchis corrected from 'serratibranchis' to neuter 'serratibranche' The Latin noun (from Greek) is 'branchia' meaning gill. In WoRMS Grube is the main user of compound words based on 'branchis' which evidently he considered was a suitable adjectival construction. There are no neuter-form 'branche' constructions previously.

Spelling Pseudobranchiomma is neuter. Putignano et al (2026) created the updated spelling 'serratibranche' which they considered was the correct neuter form of 'serratibranchis' treated as a modifiable adjective. The Latin noun (from Greek) is 'branchia' meaning gill. In WoRMS Grube is overwhelmingly the main user of compound words based on 'branchis' which evidently he considered was a suitable adjectival construction when creating compound adjectives describing the morphology of gills. There are no neuter-form 'branche' constructions previously, but neuter genera are fewer in number. [details]
