Taxacom: Uleiota Latreille and Uleiota dubi*

[Mary Barkworth]

Thank you both for your clear and swift responses.  I am going ask for a little more help. The author citation please! And then perhaps Catalogue of Life could add at least one species to the genus and two infraspecies - with authors.

    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.) :
