According to the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN, 1999),
the authors request the rejection of the specific epithets of Trichopelma cubanum (Banks,
1909) and Trichopelma maculatum (Franganillo, 1930) [Family Barychelidae] and
propose Trichopelma banksia comb. nov. and Trichopelma eucubanum comb. nov.
instead of them.
