[request]From editor or global species database
Editor's comment As use of the spelling 'mecznikowianus' instead of 'mecznikowiana' has continued, this record serves to redirect to the latter spelling. Microspio is feminine and 'mecznikowianus' is a gender-sensitive adjectival form formed from a personal name (although it looks like an unchanging noun in apposition) [details]
