Etymology It is not clear from his text why Ashworth (1901) used Asclerocheilus. Grube's Sclerocheilus is a composition of the words Sclero, 'hard', and Cheilus, 'lips' or 'rim'. Greek 'cheilos' is neuter, but Grube made a masculine noun compound word as Sclerocheilus. Addition of the Greek 'A' by Ashworth is a negative, thus meaning not with hard lips/rim, but his short diagnosis has nothing that fits that character state. [details]
Grammatical gender Masculine. Grube's Sclerocheilus is masculine and thus so is Asclerocheilus. All ten adjectival species names have used masculine suffices. [details]
