the extinct genus Eximipriapulus

[GoodTaste]

The researchers discovered four specimens of worms belonging to the phylum Priapulida, which they suspect represent a species within the extinct genus Eximipriapulus. Remarkably, all four of these animals were found nestled down inside the conical shells of hyoliths (of the genus Pedunculotheca), a mollusc-like animal that has long since become extinct and has no close relatives alive today.

How do you pronounce "Eximipriapulus" when there is no offer in Latin, pronunciation dictionary?

It's not in a Latin dictionary because it's most likely not a word ever spoken by any Latin speaker. The taxonomy system was developed by scientists well after Latin had died out as a living language. Such names are built up from Latin affixes, and may occasionally use "real" Latin words, but didn't exist until taxonomy started in 1758.

And, to be honest, most native speakers would have no idea.

I think it's quite the opposite. Any native speaker would follow learnt phonological rules, such as the one that tells us to stress the ap part of pri-ap-ulus. These are the same rules that are programmed into the AI linked to in posts #2 and #3.
