Etymology From Greek Rhaphid = needle, phorus = bearer [details]
Spelling The article has a lapsus in the genus name heading spelling, presenting it as "Raphidiophorus". This has apparently led to Nomenclator Zoologicus and ION (index organism names) recording it under the misspelling. It is quite evident that Rhaphidiophorus is the correct spelling. However, a first revisor should formalise this under Art.24.2.3(if not already done). [details]
