KERZHNER 2001b), and explicitely stated that Neochauliops is feminine.However, Article 30.1.4.3 of ICZN (1999), ‘a compound genus-group name ending in - ops is to be treated as masculine, regardless of its derivation or of its treatment by its author’, should apply for both Chauliops and Neochauliops and the gender agreement must be corrected in the following cases: Chauliops conicus Gao & Bu, 2009 , Ch. lobatulus Breddin, 1907 , Ch. petiolatus (Germar, 1837) , Ch. quaternarius Gao & Bu, 2009 , and Neochauliops laciniatus (Bergroth, 1916) .The species epithet in Chauliops bisontula Banks, 1909 should be treated as noun in apposition.
