[Taxacom] Advice on genus name

[Anders Silfvergrip]

If you want to make it stand out, try base it on the Swedish word for cog-wheel, "kugghjul".

Kugghjulia

That has probably not been used before.

If you are indeed looking for the proper Latin 
word for "gear = cog-wheel" my dictionary to 
"modern Latin" (from Swedish) has it as 
"rota-dentata"...
