TricholepismaTricholepisma is a genus of silverfish belonging to the family Lepismatidae.NomenclatureMost authors have historically treated the nomenclatural gender of Tricholepisma as feminine, but in 2018 the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature issued a formal ruling stating the gender of Lepisma is neuter, following ICZN Article 30, which resulted in changes to the spelling of several species.
