^he writer treats Loxorhynchus as masculine, despite the recommendation of 

 the XIV International Congress of Zoology that words ending in -rhynchus be 

 treated as neuter, pending action by the International Commission on Zoological 

 Nomenclature on a petition regarding Stenorynchus, and on the assurance of Dr. 

 L. B. Holthuis that the Commission will be receptive to further request with 

 regard to similar names in Crustacea for which consistent masculine treatment 

 can be shown.
