@Dyanega: what do you make of what is said here on page 266 - https://archive.org/details/bub_gb_-7K9ZeHNih8C/page/266/mode/1up (Westwood 1845(?) does seem to have a single r - here) Shyamal (talk) 02:19, 20 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

Scratch that - I misread it the first time round. I am surprised how much more frequently the double-r form has been used... Shyamal (talk) 02:34, 20 October 2023 (UTC)Reply
I have a query circulating for evidence that would contradict Smith's 2006 review, in which he specifies usage of Westwood's original single R spelling; he might be incorrect, via prevailing usage of the misspelling with two Rs. It hasn't yet been determined whether the misspelling should be preserved or not. Yes, it's prevalent online, but the ICZN doesn't count anything but print publications. Certainly if the scarab workers get back to me and say we have to reject the original spelling, I'll make the necessary changes. Dyanega (talk) 23:40, 20 October 2023 (UTC)Reply
