OK, this is HN, so: it most definitely was not given the genus name "troglomyces". That would makes any biologist with an inclination towards taxonomy or systematics shudder with horror. A genus name is always capitalized, and the full binomial is always italicized: Troglomyces twitteri. (My username is worryingly not displayed in italics by HN.)
