[QUOTE="l_raty, post: 3209071, member: 24811"] It has no dedication or explanation as far as I can see. (Note that, in classical Latin, "[I]cornelia[/I]" is also an adjective which makes reference to someone named "[URL="http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.04.0059%3Aentry%3DCornelius"][I]Cornelius[/I][/URL]", the [I]-a[/I] ending being then due to gender agreement. Thus, in theory at least, this name could also honour a man.) I'm unclear how [I]Hermotimia [/I][URL="http://www.hbw.com/dictionary/definition/corinna"][I]corinna[/I][/URL] Salvadori, described in the same volume ([URL="http://emeroteca.braidense.it/beic_attacc/sfoglia_articolo.php?IDTestata=911&CodScheda=000R&IDT=17&IDV=139&IDF=0&IDA=5372"]p. 530-534[/URL]), is linked to the sister of the Italian ethnograph, explorator and collector [URL="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamberto_Loria"]Lamberto Loria[/URL]...? (The taxon is based on observations by Shelley [in [URL="http://biodiversitylibrary.org/item/90436#page/158/mode/1up"]Sclater 1877[/URL]], and 13 specimens sent to Salvadori by Sclater, who had received them "dal B[SIZE="2"]ROWN[/SIZE]". It also seems too early for Loria, who was only 23 in 1878 and, if I'm understanding the Italian Wikipedia correctly, was then established in Pisa, still frequenting high school and university.) ---- PS - Are problems with .djvu files widespread/general nowadays? (I know I can't really expect people to be able to open a .ps, despite the standard document viewer in Linux handles these without any problems, hence I avoid using them for communication with others.
