Latin: "peanut-inhabiting". Or just Translingual?
At the Catalogue of Life five species names of fungi use this epithet, so it would remain as a Translingual entry in a somewhat simpler form (eg, no declension table). DCDuring (talk) 15:35, 27 October 2022 (UTC)
- The entry was changed in diff.
- Here is one occurence of Latin "Pleosphaerulinae arachidicolae".
- However, the part of speech and the inflecton given in arachidicola seems very dubious, compare -cola (forms masculine nouns instead of adjectives).

- I wouldn't worry overmuch about the faithfulness of taxonomic New Latin to Classical word-formation rules. —Al-Muqanna المقنع (talk) 11:36, 28 October 2022 (UTC)
- Pleospaerulina arachidicola is a taxonomic name. As such it is not the best evidence of use of arachidicola as an adjective in Latin.
- Lewis and Short has several words ending in cola defined as adjectives: amnicola, Boeticola, circumcola, dumicola, Fescenninicola, flucticola, nocticola, silvicola, undicola, vericola, as well as more defined as nouns. DCDuring (talk) 15:07, 28 October 2022 (UTC)
- RFV failed. I could not find any uses in Latin text, as opposed to as a specific epithet. Moving to Translingual as a consequence.--Urszag (talk) 06:29, 3 November 2023 (UTC)
