Etymology Not stated. The species was collected at St Croix, so most likely 'cariboum' is an attempt to derive a name from Carib, after one of the indigenous peoples of the Caribbean. Carib has been latinized in epithets as a genitive noun as caribaeae or caribae, and as an adjective as caribaeus, for which the neuter would be caribaeum. It seems safest to treat 'cariboum' as an indeclinable made-up word unique to Grube. No other uses of that spelling are known. [details]

Etymology Not stated. The species was collected at St Croix, so most likely 'cariboum' is an attempt to derive a name from Carib, after one of the indigenous peoples of the Caribbean. Carib has been latinized in epithets as a genitive noun as caribaeae or caribae, and as an adjective as caribaeus, for which the neuter would be caribaeum. It seems safest to treat 'cariboum' as an indeclinable made-up word unique to Grube. No other uses of that spelling are known. [details]Spelling Grube used problem spellings both for the genus and the species name. 'Siphonostomum' should have been Siphonostoma and 'cariboum' appears to be a word construction unique to Grube. Salazar-Vallejo (2012) changed the spelling of cariboum to 'caribea' which he said was "the correct noun in the genitive case". However, nouns which might be considered incorrect original latinizations are not corrected. If, instead 'cariboum' was considered to be a neuter adjective, there might be an argument for gender agreement correction. Probably Hartman's (1961: 122) Semiodera cariboa usage is an example of this (Semiodera is feminine) [details] From other sources
