    peace... d'accord. Pour le reste, Latreille 
donne l'étymologie du nom Uleiota, en français 
Uléiote, dans Hist. gén. partic. Crut. Insectes, 
tome XI (an XII, soit 1799), à la p. 257 :

Uléiote [...] et nous en avons formé le genre uléiote (habitant des forêts).

« ule » est tiré du grec pour « forêt », le 
suffixe « -iote » est français à valeur 
diminutive dans la formation des adjectifs et de 
même origine (latine) que le diminutif bien connu 
« -ette » (allumette, lunette, opérette, 
majorette, etc. Cf. Oxford English Dictionary à 
« -ette »).

    Le mot est donc formé sur le modèle de 
Pholiote (fr.) > Pholiota (Psalliota, Lepiota, 
etc., tous des féminins en latin botanique).

    Pour les suffixes français voir par exemple (à 
-ot, -otte, -ote, -iotte, etc.) :
