Nomenclature Canthopsis harvardiensis was a nomen nudum when first introduced by Agassiz (1851); it was described in 1870 by Gould but then only the specific name is used as valid in the combination Alderia harvardiensis, and the generic name Canthopsis is listed in synonymy, therefore still not available nomenclaturally [details]
