Note: Aspitates is a misspelling of Aspilates and was originally coined
by Treitschke. Treitschke later corrected his error, but most current
taxonomists reject his correction as unjustified and regard Aspitates as
the correct spelling. Aspilates is a kind of mythical stone that was
believed by ancient Arabians to have magical powers. The word is usually
regarded as having masculine gender. Its misspelling Aspitates may
consequently be inferred to have the same gender, therefore
unequivocally adjectival species group names also take the masculine
gender (e.g. minimus), but all other species group names are here
regarded as nouns in apposition.
