Asettelulla

Asettelulla is a term that appears in speculative discussions as a proposed genus name in biological taxonomy. There is no record of a formally described species or a recognized taxon with this name in major databases such as NCBI Taxonomy, ITIS, or WoRMS as of 2025. The name follows conventional Latinized formats used for genus names, typically italicized in formal texts, though in this article it is presented in plain text. The etymology of asettelulla is not established; it appears to be a constructed coinage rather than a derivation from a known language root associated with a described organism.

Because no formal description has been published, asettelulla has no valid taxonomic status under the relevant codes (ICZN for animals, ICN for plants and fungi). In literature and educational contexts, asettelulla is often used as a placeholder or teaching example to illustrate the process of naming a new genus, including how a type species would be designated and how a diagnostic description would be written.

In practice, a researcher seeking to establish a real genus would need to publish a peer-reviewed description in accordance with the appropriate nomenclatural code, designate a type specimen or culture, and deposit it in a recognized repository. Until such publication occurs, asettelulla remains a hypothetical or illustrative term rather than an officially recognized taxon.
