What is the "Title" syntax for 2 different font types in one title?

I have this as my title for a plot: title({'\it Myotis ciliolabrum - Western small-footed myotis'}); However, I would like everything to the right of the hyphen to be normal font as opposed to italics for the text to the left of the hyphen. How would I do this? Thanks in advance for the help.

title({'{\itMyotis ciliolabrum} - Western small-footed myotis'})

Alternately,

title({'\textit{Myotis ciliolabrum} - Western small-footed myotis'}, 'interpreter', 'latex')

apparently this form is recommended over {\it ...}

That worked! Thanks Walter!

Walter,

How would I add 'fontsize' to this expression? I have tried quite a few things and I'm not sure what is wrong.

Here's what I have: title('\fontsize{15},{'\textit{Myotis ciliolabrum} - Western small-footed myotis'}', 'interpreter', 'latex')

Thanks in advance for the help.

title('\fontsize{15}{0}\textit{Myotis ciliolabrum} - Western small-footed myotis', 'interpreter', 'latex')

or more robustly

>> title('\fontsize{15}{0}{\textit{Myotis ciliolabrum} - Western small-footed myotis}', 'interpreter', 'latex')
