Annotation: ICBN Art. 32.1 was interpreted by D.W. Taylor & J.H. Kirbride, Jr. to include a prohibition against use of any morphological term for any organism as a genus name, thus making the genus name Colleteria David W. Taylor invalid: colleteria are glandular structures of some female insects, and this morphological term "colleterium" (plural: colleteria) is derived from the Greek word κολλάω, to glue. However ICBN Art. 20.2 specifically prohibits Latin morphological terms only, and its Example 5 specifically clarifies that genus names based on Greek morphological terms are valid. The Latin word for “glue” is gluten (noun) or glutinare (verb), which is distinct from the Greek term.
