Spelling Spelling error in heading for intended Rhaphidiophorus. Thompson uses the intended Rhaphidiophorus five times in the article and includes an etymology from Rhaphid = needle. Thus there is absolutely no doubt the intended spelling was not Raphidiophorus. However, Nomenclator Zoologicus and ION indexers appear to have missed this conflict and have indexed the name only on the spelling error in the heading. WoRMS includes both spellings. A first reviser choice should confirm the intended Rhaphidiophorus. [details]
