  • ... that the mantis shrimp Acanthosquilla derijardi has a junior synonym named after Princess Sirindhorn of Thailand in reference to a childen's book she wrote? Source: "It seems the more appropriate to attach the name of Her Royal Highness to the present stomatopod, because in 1983 Her Royal Highness (under the pseudonym Waen Kaeo) published a book for small children, entitled Kaeo Chom Kacn, in the first chapter of which a stomatopod, somewhat similar to the present, plays a dominant role." doi:10.1163/156854095X00629 JSTOR 20105069 pp. 409–410
