Spelling of species names in Lepidoptera
It has become practice among Lepidopterologists to use the original spellings of the species names and not to follow Article 31.2 and 34.2 of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (Sommerer 2002), which requires adjectival species names to be in agreement with the gender of the genus name. For reasons of stability and interoperability with major on-line databases (Such as the Species 2000 Global Lepidoptera name database) we have chosen to show in Fauna Europaea primarily the original spelling of the specific names of the Lepidoptera. For several groups we also add(ed) as an alternative the spelling in agreement with the gender of the genus, but only for ‘real’ Latin or Greek adjectives. This means that for names with ‘invented endings’ -ella, -ana, -ata, -dactyla, we always only follow original spelling. In this version, we haven’t been able to do this for all groups, and mistakes are also likely to occur. This practice follows the resolution and recommendation by the Societas Europaea Lepidopterologica (SEL).
Chissà chi ha deciso e approvato una cosa del genere

Ciao
) intenda pubblicare non importa cosa sui lepidotteri, segua il codice di nomenclatura e non queste direttive sulle quali ogni commento mi pare superfluo, e meglio se si tratta di grossi lavori di revisione
