Mohorovii

Mohorovii is a name that may appear in taxonomic references as a Latinized genus designation. There is no widely recognized biological genus, species, or other taxon that is officially listed under the exact spelling Mohorovii in major databases.

If Mohorovii were to be established as a genus, it would be treated as a proper Latinized noun. Species attributed to Mohorovii would receive binomial names that reflect the genus as the first element and an additional epithet chosen by the describer.

Etymology: The form Mohorovii suggests construction from the surname Mohorović, with a patronymic ending used in some traditions to honor an individual. The exact spelling and suffix can vary by language and code of nomenclature.

Distinctions: Mohorovii should not be confused with Mohorovičić, a real surname associated with Andrija Mohorovičić, the seismologist who identified a boundary between Earth's crust and mantle now known as the Mohorovičić discontinuity.

Usage: In encyclopedic writing, Mohorovii would be treated as a placeholder or hypothetical taxon name unless and until a formal description is published in a recognized taxonomic act. In fiction or pedagogy, it may be used to illustrate how genus names honor individuals.
