Latin plural form of coracii, following classical Latin grammatical rules for second declension nouns. The -ii ending is traditional in Linnaean taxonomy though rarely used in modern scientific practice.
Old scientific Latin used special plural forms like 'coracii,' but modern scientists usually just say 'coracias' for both singular and plural to keep things simple—language even in science adapts over time!
