Etymology Jimipolyeunoa is derived from Dr Naoto Jimi, from the Nagoya University, Japan, and the name for the stem genus, Polyeunoa [details]Grammatical gender Feminine as Polyeunoa is feminine because Eunoa comes as a misspelling from the name of the nymph Eunoe, although the authors, Salazar-Vallejo & Suárez-Morales (2025: 2 of 8), suggest Polyeunoa was masculine because of the widely used epithet 'laevis' McIntosh applied to it and thus their Jimipolyeunoa is masculine. However, 'laevis' is simply the masculine/feminine form of the adjective (laevis -is -e) meaning smooth. There are hundreds of usages of 'laevis' in taxa names and usage of it indicates agreement with either a masculine or a feminine genus. Only with a neuter genus would laevis change to become laeve.
