Spelling Salazar-Vallejo (2012: 11) stated that "The original name should be changed to caribea, which is the correct noun in the genitive case. This epithet has been widely employed in different taxa." However, the name spelling cannot be so changed arbitrarily by a later author, and in any case is probably intended to be an adjective originally, not a noun. See notes under the original name, Siphonostoma cariboum, and the current name, Semiodera cariboum, for further background. [details]
