The International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN 1999) mandates that the gender of a Greek or Latin stem composing a species name must match the gender of a stem in any generic name with which it is combined (Article 31.2). Should there exist gender mismatch at the time a new binomen is proposed, the original authorship and citation are maintained but the name must be corrected (Article 34.2). Thus “” is here corrected to , which is derived from Greek (pegos, strong; mastax [f.], jaw), unknown sources (“Africa”), and Latin (-ana [f.], pertaining to).
