From editor or global species database
Spelling Kirkpatrick (1903: 252) correctly cited the species name as Desmacidon grande (agreement in gender of genus and species name). Since this was subsequently transferred to the feminine genus Isodictya we refrain from erecting a separate page for the combination. [details]
