From editor or global species database
Nomenclature Original misspelling of bushiae. Dall (1889a) did not state explicitly that he was naming the species for Katharine Bush, but he compared his new species to N. glypta Bush. Dall (1889b) used the spelling bushiae in captions for plates reprinted from Dall (1889a). Boss, Rosewater & Ruhoff (1968: 53) treated bushiae as an error for bushii, but Abbott (1974: 201) adopted the spelling bushiae and cited the original spelling bushii; this is accepted here as a justified emendation under ICZN Article 33.2.1.
