The classical Latin name is Hector, gen. Hectoris, not “Hectorus”. This being so, genitive epithets “hectori” would be correctable to "hectorii", especially if honouring modern persons with the family name Hector, "Hectorii" is to be preferred epithet. For species (if any) commemorating the ancient Greek hero, hectoris would be preferable.
