Etymology Contrary to the Code, Salazar-Vallejo (2020) sought to change the spelling of Grube's 1867 genus Lamprophaes to Lamprophaea (see spelling note under genus Lamprophaes for why this is not possible). Thus for a genus similar to the original Lamprophaes he created a matching name using the spelling Paralamprophaea rather than the expected Paralamprophaes. [details]
