Spelling From d'Udekem d'Acoz, C. (2008). "The genus under study, which is dedicated to the Swedish naturalist LIL(L)JEBORG, is sometimes spelled Liljeborgia (with one ‘L’, in third position) and sometimes Lilljeborgia (with two ‘L’, in third and fourth position). This merits comments in order to ensure the stability of nomenclature. Vilhelm (Wilhelm) LILJEBORG, 1816-1908, changed his name to William LILLJEBORG (with double ‘L’) around 1860, when he visited the USA for a while (VADER, 1972). BATE (1862: 118) published the name Liljeborgia with one ‘L’, hence after the change in the surname. The International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, 4th edition (art. 32.5.1. on incorrect original spellings) states: “If there is in the original publication itself, without recourse to any external source of information, clear evidence of an inadvertent error, such as a lapsus calami or a copyist’s or printer’s error, it must be corrected. Incorrect transliteration or latinization, or use of an inappropriate connecting vowel, are not to be considered inadvertent errors”. There is no evidence of inadvertent error, since BATE (1862) explicitly dedicated the species to LILJEBORG (with one ‘L’): “It is named in compliment to Prof. LILJEBORG. So, even if one considers the latinization by BATE as incorrect, then the original spelling with one ‘L’ should be considered as nomenclaturally correct and should be conserved. On the other hand, the same rules dictate that if one day the genus Lilljeborgiella SCHELLENBERG, 1931 would be resurrected, it should retain the two ‘L’ in the first part of the nomen."  [details]

Taxonomic remark The use of the name ‘Spence Bate’ instead of ‘Bate’ is discussed herein. See page 201. [details]
