Please don't create entries for taxonomic names, like Chromodoris lochi‎, until you understand what they are and how we treat them at Wiktionary. A taxonomic name isn't English, because it's the same in every language. We use them in English using English grammar, but they're not really part of English. We treat things that aren't part of any one language as "Translingual" with a language code of "mul".

What's more, you had the capitalization wrong. According to the International Code for Zoological Nomenclature which governs taxonomic names for animals, a species name consists of the capitalized name of the genus ( and the specific epithet (lochi) in lowercase.

As for the particular details of what should be included in a taxonomic-name entry, I don't create those myself, even though I know a lot about taxonomy. I leave that to people like, who's going to have to clean up after you here.

I know you meant well, so I hope you take this as a polite request to be more careful in the future. Thanks! Chuck Entz (talk) 18:40, 11 February 2023 (UTC)
