...but. I guess you knew that was coming I took Greek for three years and taught Latin. Here are the ways some of these names should be pronounced:

Tham naw fiss

Ang kiss tra don

Ox cipita mah cu lahtah

Oh fee ah dris

Nah sih cus

Pit two ah fis

Sub ah cu lah ris

Mik cru ris

These are the correct Greek pronunciations of the generic names. Of course, specific and subspecific names are always in Latin. However, I doubt that even the renowned scientists that use these names pronounce them correctly.

Cheers!
