Miscellaneous Literature Names
- Nemapalpus [often misspelled, due to confusion as Maquart used two spellings in his description].
Introduction
There is confusion regarding the correct spelling for this genus, as Macquart used both Nemopalpus and Nemapalpus in his description.
From Evenhuis et al. (2016): " By subsequent usage by the same author (ICZN Code Article 24.2.4), Macquart (1839a: plate 4, figure 5) acted as First Reviser and selected Nemopalpus as the correct original spelling. Bigot & Verrall in Scudder (1882: 222) selected the same spelling, but this was later. Sabrosky (1999: 211–212) gave a detailed history of the usage and confusion of the two spellings (he himself even proposing a First Reviser action if he was found to be the first), but apparently failed to realize that the multiple original spellings could be resolved by subsequent usage by the author under ICZN Code Article 24.2.4."
