platypodes

platy· podes | \ˈpla-ti-pōdes\

noun, plural

the obscure, but only genuinely correct plural of “platypus” according to both Linnaen taxonomy and rules of pluralization in the Greek language, as “Platypus” is the latinisation of the Ancient_Greek word πλατύπους (platupous), "flat-footed", from πλατύς (platus), "broad, wide, flat" and πούς (pous), "foot”.

Unfortunately, it is almost always eschewed in favor of the absolutely incorrect pseudo-latin term , “platypi”, or the Standard English plural, the vulgar “platypuses”.
