Note: the word "stigmatella" as used by
Zetterstedt is the diminutive form of the noun
"stigma, -tis" (Latin for "marking"). The noun
"stigma" belongs to the third (consonant)
declension and has the stem "stigmat-". The
diminutive suffix "-ell-" is added to the
stem, and the original ending "-a" is then
added. The word means "little marking", has
neutral gender and is a noun in apposition. It
therefore does not change with the gender of
the genus name.
