Sorry, I'll try that again:

A couple of quick questions for the classical language buffs out there (all in 
the name of constructing species epithets): 

1. The genitive plural of the Latin word "mons" (mountain) - "montium" or 
"montum"? 

2. How does one construct diminutives in Greek? Specifically, what would be the 
diminutive of "eremites" (of the desert - so I want "of the little desert")? 

    Cheers,
