Remark by Janssens, F. 2023.10.27: "Gul" is a vernacular Korean word that means "cave". The ICZN Rec.11A discourages the use of vernacular words as scientific names. Given appropriate latinisation is the prefered means of formation of names from vernacular words, "cavus" (= pertaining to the cave) would be an example of an appropriate name in line with Rec.11A. |
Remark by Zeppelini, D. 2011:96: The name Pygmarrhopalites has only a didactic meaning, being a convenience for referring to species in the pygmaeus-group, which follows the system proposed by Bretfeld (1999). Thus the generic name Pygmarrhopalites should be treated as a junior synonym of Arrhopalites s.l. Börner. |
