From editor or global species database
Nomenclature Schmidt (1880: 29) in all likelihood dedicated this species to the American naturalist (entomology and paleontology) A.S. Packard (1839-1905). He wrote a.o. an article on the Life History of Protozoa and Sponges. Schmidt misspelled the Scleritoderma species as 'paccardi', which is an 'incorrect original spelling' in the sense of ICZN art.32.5, that must be corrected. Sollas (1888: 346) made the correction by renaming Schmidt's name as S. packardi. [details]
