Incorrect subsequent spelling: Desmopachria specula Sharp, 1887:752 ( Nilsson 2001:217) . Comment: The original spelling ' speculum ' is a Latin noun in apposition meaning mirror. Consequently, the ending is constant relative to the gender of the associated genus name. The incorrect spelling ' specula ' was seemingly introduced by Young (1995:43).
