Gender
Masculine under ICZN Article 30.2.4 [Not Latin or Greek, no etymology in original description, no adjectival species in original description. NOTE: some later authors (e.g. Wallace et al., 2018) considered the gender to be feminine, but without justification in compliance with the ICZN - i.e., the gender of the word "limnos" is irrelevant, as it is not the same word]
