Nomenclatural note
There is no such Latin word "infundibulus"; "infundibulum", a neuter Latin noun for a funnel (Brown 1956; from "infundo," to pour), was intended and is here corrected. Thus this is a noun in apposition and is not declinable: "23.5. The specific epithet, when adjectival in form and not used as a noun, agrees grammatically with the generic name; when it is a noun in apposition or a genitive noun, it retains its own gender and termination irrespective of the gender of the generic name. Epithets not conforming to this rule are to be corrected (see Art. 32.2)...". - (03 May 2013) - M.D. Guiry

Usage note
Harmful species (Lassus et al. 2017). - (18 May 2017) - M.D. Guiry
