Desmopachria granum
(
LeConte, 1855
)
Incorrect subsequent spelling:
Desmopachria grana
(
LeConte, 1855:294
) (
Nilsson 2001:215
)
. Comment: The original spelling '
granum
' is a Latin noun in apposition meaning seed. Consequently, the ending is constant relative to the gender of the associated genus name. The incorrect spelling '
grana
' was seemingly introduced by
Zimmermann (1919:130)
.
