The name seems to be more often given as Clivinemini, reflecting an assumption that the genitive of the type genus Clivinema would be Clivinemae. However it appears this name is a compound clivi-nema of 'nema', a thread, of which the genitive is nematis in Latin (or nēmatos in Greek) which would make the -at- form correct.--Keith Edkins (Talk) 16:56, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
