Hello everybody, I've noticed during my hard last months learning on Molluscs that many of their Latin names are not correct from a grammatical point of view. Specially, I have found a lot of gender disagrees, (well, maybe this is more evident to Romance languages speakers than to English speakers) and I don't know the criteria of ICZN about this. So the question is: Can I use the correct Latin name and so change, let's say "Mitra tuberosum" to "Mitra tuberosa" wherever I found it -at my own risk- or may I respect any nomenclatural convention above grammatical correction? Incidentally, I will comment to you that botanist seems not to have this trouble: in Latin all plants are feminine! Best regards, Alfonso Pina Malaga Spain
