Osmia mertensiae: Comments
Comment:
The specific epithet was originally spelled mertensiæ. Corrected to mertensiae per ICZN 32.5.2.1. Ligature of the letters a and e (æ) is not permitted in scientific names under ICZN Article 27, and is emendable to ae. But note ICZN Article 58.1 deems names differing only in use of ae, or, or e as identical
Comment:
Etymology: Hab. Florissant, Colorado, at flowers of Mertensia lanceolata [Mertensia lanceolata (Pursh) DC (TSN 31681)), June 19, 1907 (S. A. Rohwer)
