Description
Summary:Epimeria (Pseudepimeria) amoenitas sp. nov. urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act: 191AE45C-F84D-412A-B0E1-CFA3251C5824 Figs 251–256 ‘Clade H grandirostris-pulchra-oxicarinata complex - PUL1’ – Verheye et al. 2016a, supplement: 5 (online). Etymology From the Latin, a moenitas, -tatis: pleasantness, delightfulness, loveliness. This name, which is a noun in apposition, has been coined because the species is as elegant as its close relative Epimeria pulchra, of which the specific epithet means beautiful.
