There are two spots defined on NatureMapr for this species Glycaspis brimblecombei and Glycaspis (Glycaspis) brimblecombei. I don't understand the mening of the genus being repeated in brackets but I know it is a common practice. The name in brackets causes problems when searching for this species because the search does not return that name. It only shows up when you only type in just the genus. Hmm...
