[Taxacom] Nannopterum auritus and N. brasilianus - or auritum and brasilianum?

[Michael Heads]

These are widespread pan-American cormorants. Isn't Nannopterum a
Latinized, neuter word? Everyone cites auritus and brasilianus, but
shouldn't it be auritum and brasilianum?
  Yes, I did check the code first...!
Thanks,
