 exemplar, calcar etc. which all have -is in the genitive; -i is their dative
 ending. *A. molnari* must end as a misspelling/objective junior synonym.

This is why Greg did it that way first, as far as I know. But since Molnar is 
not a Latin name, the correct ICZN way to form the genitive is by adding the 
suffix -i. Greg himself changed it in later printings of PDW.
