Can i write as ‘genus Dorylaimus is the largest one’ keeping the word ‘Dorylaimus’ in italicized
Hi,
Thank you for sharing your query on our forum.
Regarding your query, in case you are writing the word “Dorylaimus” underlined or in italics, it already suggests that it is the genus name. Writing the word “genus” beside becomes redundant. On the other hand, if you write the word “genus” you can skip italicizing “Dorylaimus”. However, the former is always preferable keeping the binomial nomenclature in consideration. You can read more about the scientific nomenclature through our resources available in the website.
Please let us know if there are any other queries.
