Grammatical gender Syllides is masculine as ICZN Code 4th edition article 30.1.4.4 requires '-ides' ending genera to be treated as masculine, lacking evidence to the contrary. it is probably a simple suffix modification of 'Syllis' (feminine). Syllis is the name of a nymph (female) in Greek mythology. An earlier editor wrote that "Syllides is a male latin name, thus the correct ending for the specific names whose etymology refers to an adjective is -us. For this reason the Syllides species names (those ending -a) referring to an adjective are herein emended." Perhaps this editor only meant that Syllides was grammatically masculine by Code decree as evidence it originated as a masculine personal name has not been found. Past authors have created both feminine and masculine original adjectival species name spellings with about 13 masculine, 9 feminine. The type species was created in Syllis thus it originally had a feminine suffix. Most recently Perkins (1981) and Hartmann-Schröder, 1983 created a masculine names but made no comment as to why. Earlier Banse (1971) had treated the name as feminine. [G Read, June 2023] [details]
