From editor or global species database
Spelling The misspelling record as M mcintoshi may derive from databasing errors by Fauchald, as in the literature only one print misspelling usage could be found. This is Fauvel (1919) where he has a minor lapsus as M. 'mcintoshi' in a table but otherwise uses the correct spelling M macintoshi. [details]
