Calycopis pisis
edit- ... that Kurt Johnson named a butterfly Serratoterga larsoni after American cartoonist Gary Larson, but as of 2004 it's an invalid junior synonym of Calycopis pisis? Source: [1]: 74 "[Larson's] contributions to entomology by increasing public awareness and making insects a source of amusement rather than fear led to several patronyms in his honor—one for a species of owl louse (Strigiphilus garylarsoni Clayton 1989) and another for a species of hairstreak butterfly (Serratoterga larsoni Johnson 1991). Unfortunately, the latter patronym was later synonymized with Calycopis pisis (Godman and Salvin 1887) by Robbins (2004), but the honor remains untarnished."

- Reviewed: This is my first nomination. "Exception: If, at the time a nomination is promoted to the main page, its nominator has fewer than five DYK credits (whether or not self-nominated) then the nomination is exempt from QPQ."
