Etymology author: Archlidon "mucropaleum is a combination of the Latin singular adjective mucronatus (-a, -um) meaning ‘provide with a final straight point’, and the Latin singular noun palea meaning ‘scale’. The name indicates the sharp apical projection on the paleal apex of all paleae, and it is neuter for matching the genus gender (ICZN 1999, Art. 31.2)." [details]
