Spelling Although originally established as "obesa", the correct spelling is "obesus" due to the mandatory adaptation of the declination to the gender of the genus (masculine in Echinarachnius). "parma" in contrast is a proper noun (latin name for a shield of Roman auxiliaries troops) and thus may not be changed. [details]
