    Ha! There is a beetle in the genus Paropsis which will soon have this moniker. The paper is already written and soon to be published. Since they are sister genera, the name is already taken and such a name is considered 'occupied' and therefore disqualified. Thank you for the suggestion. Posted 9 years ago
