Name

there is no name update. The species name is Anasaitis canosa, please moved the page name back to its proper name Phiditude (talk) 04:30, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Phiditude and Angela.hummingbird: see here. The genus name is masculine, so all specific names that are adjectives must have the appropriate ending. Peter coxhead (talk) 09:43, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

GB Edwards looked into it...yeah..."It is changed in the World Spider Catalog. It is because of Saitis from which Anasaitis is derived. While often nouns that end in -is are feminine, Saitis is gender masculine (meaning "citizen of Sais"), therefore, any word derived from it is also masculine. Any associated specific epithet that is adjectival (ends in -a for feminine, -us for masculine) will be changed accordingly. So, sorry, it is Anasaitis canosus from now on (I don't like it either, but oh well)." Phiditude (talk) 16:49, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
