Spelling Oligobregma aciculata should be O. aciculatum (q.v) for grammatical agreement of specific epithet with a neuter genus. The spelling as O. aciculatum has been indirectly and directly published previously (Blake, 2015 indirectly as Pseudoscalibregma aciculatum, and Parapar et al, 2021 as Oligobregma aciculatum in their Table A2 of valid names) [details]
