latrmus
Latrumus is a fictional genus created for educational purposes to illustrate principles of taxonomy, nomenclature, and systematic biology. It is not a recognized taxon in real biological databases, and its species are not thought to exist in nature. The term is commonly used in textbooks and online tutorials to demonstrate formatting of scientific names and the construction of hypothetical phylogenies.
Taxonomy and naming: In illustrative scenarios, latrumus is assigned to the family Latridae and to species
Description: Latrumus species are depicted as medium-sized, omnivorous mammals with dense fur, a short snout, and
Habitat and distribution: In fictional accounts, latrumus inhabits temperate forests and woodland margins of Aetheria, from
Ecology and behavior: Latrumus is described as nocturnal, foraging on invertebrates, seeds, and small vertebrates. They
Significance: The latrumus example supports teaching of binomial nomenclature, species concepts, and phylogenetic reasoning without relying
