The pronunciation of scientific names is troublesome for many. The "suggestion" at the top of the page is
merely a suggestion. It is based on commonly accepted English pronunciation of Greek names and/or some
fairly well accepted "rules" for latinized scientific names.
The suggested pronunciations, on this page and on other pages, are primarily put forward to assist those who hear with internal
ears as they read.
There are many collectors from different countries whose intonations and accents would be different.
The species name, septentrides, is indicative of a southern member of the eumedide subgroup.
