 Comments
       
  Comment: Named 'in honor of Robert Ahmanson and the Ahmanson Foundation', and originally given as 'Lepilemur ahmansoni', which SHOULD have been 'ahmansonorum', but this does not appear to be a correctable error under the ICZN Art. 32.2 and 32.5. Use of -i instead of -orum appears to be an incorrect Latinization, which is not to be considered an inadvertent error (Art. 32.5.1), so the error is not one that 'must' be corrected, and it must be considered the 'correct original spelling.' In a discussion on the ICZN-List (March 2021) it was generally agreed that there is a problem for cases where a name was incorrectly formed/Latinized under Art. 31.1.2 (incorrect use of ending -i/-orum/-ae/-arum, according to the number & sex of honorees) of the 4th edition (1999) of the Code, in that the Article doesn't contain a corrective option, and the wording of Article 32 does not include this type of correction. This 'glitch' will be addressed in the next edition of the Code, but until this is resolved, ITIS will make note of these cases and try to follow current usage, where possible
