Etymology Malmgren (1867) has given a footnote to the heading of 'Ceratocephale' in which he indicates the two Greek words from which he derived the name. It is not easily readable, but looks like (transliterated) keras and kephal, indicating a horned head [details]

Etymology Malmgren (1867) has given a footnote to the heading of 'Ceratocephale' in which he indicates the two Greek words from which he derived the name. It is not easily readable, but looks like (transliterated) keras and kephal, indicating a horned head [details]Spelling The correct (original) spelling was 'Ceratocephale' but 'Ceratocephala' (qv entry) became widely used, because the journal version of Malmgren's monograph used Ceratocephala, indicating the work was typeset twice (or corrections were made for the journal version). The book version was published first. Banse (1977: 613-614) explains the issue in detail. He writes "We assume that the book became available first and was hence also printed first, so that the valid name is Ceratocephale.
