From editor or global species database
Spelling Chamberlin (1919: 231, 495) misspells Amphiro Kinberg in a key as Amphiron, with the misspelling repeated in the index. Both Hartman (1959) and Fauchald (1977) list Amphiron as a misspelling. Chamberlin does not use the name in a species combination, and the error has no taxonomic significance. [details]
