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 “Pegomastax africanus” is here corrected to Pegomastax africana, which is derived from Greek (pegos, strong; mastax [f.], jaw), unknown sources (“Africa”), and Latin (-ana [f.], pertaining to).
