| Action: changed name from "Timema sp." to "Timema genevieve
" |
| Reviewer's comments: | | | | "The location, gestalt, and host plant (Adenostoma fasciculatum or "chamise") point clearly to species T. genevieve. This is a female, as can be seen from the form of the terminalia (for details, see the BugGuide Timema page).
The original description of T. genevieve appears in Rentz (1987), see "Print References" at bottom of the this page. Interestingly, this was the first parthenogenetic (i.e all female, asexually reproducing) species of Timema discovered. Four more parthenogenetic species have been found, out of a current total of 21 species for the genus. Research indicates T. genevieve has been a parthenogenetic lineage for a million years or more. See this interesting article for details." |

| Action: changed name from "Timema genevieve" to "Timema genevievae
" |
| Reviewer's comments: | | | | "I'm correcting two errors that appeared in my previous annotation:
1) The correct spelling of the epithet here is T. genevievae, rather than T. genevieve. That's the spelling used in the original description in the paper by Rentz. See for example, this link.
2) Rentz's paper was published in 1978, not 1987 (I made a transposition typo in my previous remark!)." |
