Abstract

The purpose of this note is to suggest additions to the Latin genitive suffixes present in Article 31.1.2 of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, to include non-binary people in the regulation of species-group names formed from modern personal names. Use of the suffixes of the third declension of the Latin genitive is proposed.
