for each scientific name, indicate what is wrong and then correct it to the appropriate format. a few rules to remember. the genus is capitalized the species is lower case. when a scientific name is typed it must be put in italics. when it is handwritten it must be underlined. when abbreviating the scientific name you must include additional characteristics of the genus name when you have species with a genus name that begins with the same character. for example chinchilla chinchilla and chiropotes chiropotes would be abbreviated chinchilla and ch. chiropotes.'
