Sthenias franciscanus Thomson.
The only Sthenias that I have seen from Borneo, sometimes a little variable. |

The Palaearctic catalog uses "franciscanus". Tavakilian web site has "franciscana".
Thomson used "franciscana" when he described it.
Is Sthenias masculine, feminine or neutral?

Thomson's original description is irrelevant since the scientific names should follow the Latin or Greek grammar.
In case of doubts, it is better to consult Gemminger & Harold, who clarified the origin and the gender of all genera known at that time.
This case is however questionable.
According to Gemminger & Harold, Sthenias derives from Sthenios, whose gender is masculine.
Nonetheless, Sthenias is not Sthenios, but possibly a Castelnau's misspelling.
Consequently, it is also possible to sustain that Sthenias is a completely invented word (neologism). In this case, the gender of a neologism is the gender the author gave. |

Coming back to this case, Castelnau's original description of Sthenias (here) included only S. grisator.
Thus, the genus is undoubtedly masculine.

Coming back to this case, the name quoted by Laporte de Castelnau is "Sthenias Dejean".
This name belongs actually to Dejean (1835: 344), who quoted two valid species, currently classified as Sthenias.
Both quoted species (grisator F. and cylindrator F.) are undoubtedly masculine.
