Argonauta nodosus - spelling
Greetings to the Wiki editing community The spelling of the species name for Argonauta nodosus was changed from that originally used by Lightfoot (Argonauta nodosa) due to the question of gender agreement, as the latter part of the name Argonauta refers to a sailor (masculine). I include the relevant references below. It might also be worth adding an explanatory note. That is, the form Argonauta nodosus is now considered correct.

The relevant references are: Molluscan Research http://www.tandfonline.com/loi/tmos20 Taxonomy and biology of the argonauts (Cephalopoda: Argonautidae) with particular reference to Australian material Julian K. Finn
