From editor or global species database
Editor's comment Acmira Hartley is a replacement name for Acesta Strelzov, which is a junior homonym. Acmira was introduced at subgenus level, and use at genus level appears unwarranted [details]Grammatical gender The gender of Acmira and of the earlier Acesta is not stated by their authors. WoRMS only tracks gender of genera at full genus level. Gender of subgenera do not affect grammatical agreement, although often they are raised in rank later, and are then relevant for grammatical agreement. [details]
