Nomenclature Stimpson (1854, p. 28) attributed the author to Charles Frédéric Girard by noting "Omatoplea Stimpsonii, Grd., n. s." in the taxonomic heading. The incorrect spelling of the genus name (correctly, Ommatoplea) does not affect the availability of the specific name "stimpsonii" (cf. Article 11.9.3.2 of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, 4th ed.). [Note added by H. Kajihara, 2024] [details]
