Evrensellii

Evrensellii is a Latinized species epithet used in the scientific names of various organisms to honor a person with the surname Evrensell. In binomial nomenclature, evrensellii accompanies the genus name to form a species designation, such as Genus evrensellii, following the Latin grammar principles adopted by zoological and botanical codes. The epithet evrensellii is typically the masculine form; for female honorees, Latinized variants such as evrenselliae or evrensellae may be used, depending on the tradition of the relevant code.

Etymology: The epithet derives from the surname Evrensell and the common Latin ending -ii, which signals a male honoree. The practice of naming species after people is widespread across zoology, botany, and mycology, with rules codified by the ICZN for animals and the ICN for plants, fungi, and algae.

Nomenclature and usage: Evensellii is not a standalone taxon but a species-level epithet that can appear in multiple genera across different kingdoms. When cited in full, it is combined with its genus name and often with the authority and date of description. The same surname may yield different epithets in other forms (for example, evrenselliae for a female honoree).
