Etymology Leocrates was a leading Athenian general of the First Peloponnesian War. Ehlers is assumed to have named Leocratides to indicate a close similarity to existing genus Leocrates. He writes "von Leocrates durch einästige Ruder unterschieden" ["distinguished from Leocrates by single-barred parapodia."] [details]

Etymology Leocrates was a leading Athenian general of the First Peloponnesian War. Ehlers is assumed to have named Leocratides to indicate a close similarity to existing genus Leocrates. He writes "von Leocrates durch einästige Ruder unterschieden" ["distinguished from Leocrates by single-barred parapodia."] [details]Grammatical gender Masculine. Leocrates, of which Leocratides is a modification, is masculine. Ehlers (1908) used the masculine adjective 'filamentosus' for his single species of Leocratides. [details]
