Troglopedetes kae from Thailand
After Jantarit S, Surkahamhaeng K & Deharveng L, 2020 Fig.1 inset
Remark by Janssens, F. 2020.12.21: The name "Troglopedetes kae" is confusing and misleading, especially so when the specific name is wrongly given an upper case initial character. In order to avoid the appearance that the specific name is a citation of the authorship of the generic name, the specific name should not be formed as a noun in apposition (ICZN Recommendation 31A). To avoid confusion with an author bearing the name "Kae", the new specific name which is based on a geographical name (a toponym) should preferably be formed with the latin -ensis suffix. Therefore "Troglopedetes kaeensis" would have been the recommended name.
