From editor or global species database
Authority Although Lamarck clearly adapted the name Leodice and its diagnosis from Savigny's manuscript, published Savigny (1822,) the descriptions are sufficiently different that Savigny cannot be said with confidence to have authored the genus diagnosis which appears in Lamarck.  [details]

Etymology Leodice is a female name from Classical/Mythological Greece and Egypt. There is a Leodice who was the wife of King Antiochus III the Great of Egypt. The transcription spelling as Laodice leads to more known usages, notably to Laodice, who was a daughter of King Priam and a princess of Troy.  [details]

Etymology Feminine. Leodice is a female name from Classical/Mythological Greece and Egypt. Most adjectival names created in Leodice genus have feminine gender [details]
