Nomenclatural Notes
(as Munronii)
Remarks
Eponymy: Capt. Munro (William Munro 1818-1880); Wight seemed to have Latinized the name Munro to Munronius and coined the epithet Munronii. Since no evidence has been found for such a tradition (i.e., treating the Munro name in the Latinized form Munronius to derive the epithet munronii), it is corrected to munroi.
