Si tu peux changer le nom d'après BioLib, Anoplophora zonatrix (Thomson) Breuning, 1944 est un synonyme de Anoplophora zonator (J. Thomson, 1878)  |

This is a problem: actually, I do not know if the correct name is zonator (as in the original description, but coupled with Cyrocrates, masculine) or zonatrix (as feminine name, changed by Breuning).
According to Lingafelter & Hoebeke this name is an apposition without gender and must be maintained in the original form.
Nonetheless, these authors changed A. imitatrix with A. imitator (p. 118), surely committing an unjustified emendation, since imitator is apposition with feminine form!
In fact, there are two types of Latin substantives; invariables (i.e. agricola) or variable (i.e. magister-magistra). Entomologists would have to be subjected to a Latin TOEFL before to accept their publications...
The true problem is that zonator does not seem to have a Latin meaning... |
