Talk:Endoclita

-us?

All those species names ending in -us... with a genus name like Endoclita, one would expect them to be of feminine or neutral gender. What gives? Dysmorodrepanis (talk) 15:18, 25 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I get your point. The list is taken from the excellent Buffalo Museum of Science Hepialidae pages and googling a few of the -us species suggests they are correct. I suspect some of the authors knew their moths better than they knew their Latin declension! Richard Barlow (talk) 14:49, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
