Etymology
The common name of this species - "Misspelled blenny" - derives from the fact that when Clark Hubbs initially published the description of this species he named it "L. soccorroensis" after the location from which the type specimen was collected - Socorro Island. However, a species named after Socorro Island should be named "socorroensis" and thus the blenny was "misspelled".[3]

gollark: Anyway, he clearly *could* have misused it, especially given his, well, claimed (for edginess?) lack of ethical standards.
gollark: R10, regardless of your opinion on it, was violated, hence that is a "crime".
gollark: Actually, no.
gollark: It did make school Latin lessons more exciting, but it's inconvenient for regular use.
