Remark. Although T. manglesi was dedicated to "Capt. Mangles, the Egyptian traveller" ( Hope 1842, p. 75), the spelling manglesii was used in the original description and later by Candèze (1857) and Lacordaire (1857). Gemminger & Harold (1869) corrected the spelling to manglesi and this spelling has been in use since then with exception of Calder (1996, 1998). We deem this to be the correct original spelling in application of Art. 33.3.1. of the Code ( ICZN 1999).
