Etymology.
The nature of the connective tissue firstly induced me to name it
Tr
. marginata
; but then I thought that I should name a Chilean species in honor of Spinola, who worked on most of the
Hemiptera
in the production from the illustrious Gay (
Porter 1934: 193
).
Original citation.
“El carácter del conexivo me indujo primeramente a llamarla
Tr
. marginata
; pero he pensado despúes que debía luego denominar uma especie
chilena
em honor de Spinola que trabajó la mayor parte de los Hemipteros em la obra del ilustre Gay” (
Porter 1934: 193
).
