glaronensis

Glaronensis is a Latin-toponymic adjective used in the scientific names of organisms to indicate a geographic association with a place named Glaron or a similarly named locality. It is not a taxon by itself, but rather the specific epithet that accompanies a genus to form a species name.

In taxonomic practice, -ensis is a common suffix meaning “from” or “of the place.” The epithet glaronensis is formed by adding this suffix to the placename stem Glaron-. The form should agree with the gender of the genus: glaronensis is typically used with masculine or feminine genera, while neuter genera would normally take glaronense.

Usage and scope: epithets like glaronensis are widely used across zoological, botanical, and mycological nomenclature to signal the type locality or geographic distribution of the species. The choice and Latinization of such epithets follow the relevant codes of nomenclature (ICZN for animals, ICN for plants, fungi) and aim for consistent, Latinized spelling.

Notes: there may be multiple, separate species described with the epithet glaronensis in different genera, each tied to a locality named Glaron or a similarly named area. The exact geographic reference is typically specified in the species description and the type specimen documentation.
