Spelling Bergström (1914: 53) spelled his new family "Jospilidae', and he used the genus spelling Jospilus, although the correct spelling is Iospilus, as created by Viguier (1886), and thus the family must be Iospilidae. Knox (1959) also used Jospilidae, probably following Bergström. Earlier Reibisch (1895) possibly was first to use (wrongly) Jospilus. Investigation of why Reibisch used this spelling is yet to be done. [details]
