From editor or global species database
Spelling Weir (1968) stated that the name should be changed to "dawsonae", since Brown (1849) had stated that the species was named after a "Miss Dawson of Low Moore". However, this etymology was not mentioned in the original combination, hence the name must not be changed. [details]
