Anopliomorpha Linsley, 1936: 465; Monné, 2017a: 173 (cat.).
Linsley (1936) and nearly all posterior authors considered Anopliomorpha as being neuter gender. However, according to Merriam-Webster (2002), the suffix “-morpha” is neuter only when considered plural of “-morphus”: “- morpha n combining form, pl - morpha [NL, fr. fem. sing. & neut. pl. of - morphus -morphous, fr. Gk - morphos]: one or ones having (such) a form <Entero morpha > -esp. in names of zoological taxa larger than a genus <Cyno morpha > <Hystrico morpha > [NL = New Latin; n = noun; pl = plural; fr. = from; fem. = feminine; sing. = singular; neut. = neuter].”
According to ICZN (1999: Article 11.8): “A genus-group name (see also Article 10.3) must be a word of two or more letters and must be, or be treated as, a noun in the nominative singular.” Therefore, Anopliomorpha cannot be considered as being neuter gender. Accordingly, nearly all species currently in this genus need to be corrected to the nominative singular:
A. antennata Chemsak & Noguera, 1993 = no change
A. antillarum (Fisher, 1932) = A. antillara
A. gracilis Chemsak & Noguera, 1993 = no change
A. hirsutum (Linsley, 1935) = A. hirsuta
A. reticolle (Bates, 1885) = A. reticollis
A. rinconium (Casey, 1924) = A. rinconia
