Aarggh, I knew the plural of genus was genera, but didn't use it!
Reminds me of the way in which, on the two occssions when I have ever had
cause to pronounce the plural of ox, I have always come up with 'oxes'.
This is how language regularises itself over time, force of analogy.

'... after only twenty years in existence much of the
environmental movement has taken on the form of just
another corporation or interest group. Their interest may
be disinterest, but their methods are one with the rational
élites and are therefore limited to the details of corporate life.
[They] ... are attempting to justify restraint and a common-
sense approach to self-respect with the use of intellectual
tools designed to eliminate both.' John Ralston Saul
