pronunciation of a Latin genus name Dear Ecolog-Listers:
The other day, I heard a colleague pronounce the Latin name *Arachnocoris *as Arachno'coris. Instead, I have heard many other times the genus pronounced as Arachnoco'ris. In checking this source, http://capewest.ca/pron.html , I cannot find an example or a word with more than two syllables ending in "-ris". Any guidance welcomed. Sincerely, Jorge Jorge A.
