Additional information congenitor to Platybdella anarrhichae [details]Spelling Sawyer (1986: 663) changed the spelling to P. pinnara as if the original pinnarum was an gender variable suffix adjective. However, 'pinnarum' is obviously a noun plural genitive in apposition (meaning 'of fins'), thus is unchanging. [details]
