<< To answer the question of what to call a species not yet
 formally described, the technical answer would be

 Organismus hypotheticus sp. nov. ined.

 where the "ined." stands for "inedito," i.e. "unpublished." >>

A quibble:  "ined." should stand for "inedita," to agree with "sp[ecies]
nov[a]."
