The list was excessively long, kakapo. I don't recognise most of the generic names, but Coleoptera is an Order, not a genus.
Why should I do such extremely stupid nonsensic barbarity????????????????????? I use always exclusively the CORRECT taxonomy, your reply is absolutely out of place and it's a bit offensive.
Thanks for turn it into spoiler, it's a great method for make it take a short space I didn't tought in it! But read again. I never said Coleoptera. I put only genus in my lists. Since my taxonomic knowlegde is probably greater than the one of almost all zoochaters together (probably there are some notable member that surpasses me), I would never commit such a terrible error. I re-read my list and now I notice that you mistook probably with Coleophora. Coleophora is a genus of micro-moths that give name to the family Coleophoridae, and from which I've seen two species, one as adult and one as larva. Coleophora menas "case-bearer" while Coleoptera means "case-wing".
It was, as ZooBinh surmised, a joke - as I hoped was obvious by the ridiculously small number I suggested..... but I'm sorry.
I'm sorry if I misread Coleophora as Coleoptera, but as the list has been removed, I can't check this. You may know more Latin names than other zoochatters, but I suspect that most of us would prefer the list to be in systematic order with common names, as most of the Latin names meant nothing to me and I can't justify the time to check each one. Please note that we all make mistakes and my comment about Coleoptera wasn't meant as a spoiler. It was a taxonomic comment.

Hello HungarianBison The Latin name for the Platypus is Ornithorhynchus anatinus. The generic name 'Platypus' was given to a flat-footed beetle. Similarly the generic name 'Echidna' was given to some moray eels.
The list is still there. If you go back to the post, click on the button that says "spoiler" at the bottom and it will reappear
