  <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;The current inconsistency over the use of single vs. double&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;-i&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;endings for singular masculine scientific patronyms in official lists of scientific names of fishes causes needless confusion and labor. Taxonomists once preferred rules for Latinization calling for double&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;-i&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;endings, but current rules suggest single&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;-i&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;endings. Recent rulings by the International Commission of Zoological Nomenclature make it impossible to produce uniformity in this area. It is suggested that the Committee on Names of Fishes submit a petition to the Commission that modifies the present rules to allow the use of single&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;-i&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;endings in most cases and thus conform with current literature and the opinions of most ichthyologists.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
