Nosoderma Guérin-Méneville , new sense

Nosoderma was considered neuter by Guérin-Méneville (1838) and Champion (1884), but feminine by Casey (1907 b). Because the word is a Greek compound noun formed by the combination of nosos (nosos, disease) and DÉRMa (derma, skin), Article 30.1.2 (ICZN 1999) applies. The gender is taken from the last Greek word of the compound, in this case ‘‘derma’’ which is neuter ( Liddell et al. 1968).
