Geritola goodii was named for my grandfather, Dr. Albert Good. Rev. Dr. Good was a Presbyterian missionary and naturalist in West Africa, who traveled and collected butterflies, moths, beetles, and birds in Sierra Leone, Cameroon, and Gabon. He had a connection with Rev. Willam Jacob Holland, Chancellor of the University of Pittsburgh and Director of the Carnegie Museum, and Holland named several species of butterflies and moths, probably collected by Dr. Good in West Africa, for him. This is the source of the sp. goodii.

Other species named for Dr. Good by Holland in the 1880s and 1890s are Amata goodii,, Phylloxiphia goodii , Polyptychus goodii

Dr. Good's entire collection of African butterflies and moths (and I believe some beetles) was donated to the Carnegie Museum before his death, and probably included in the collection of W. J. Holland

Dr. Good's father Adolphus C. Good Dr. Good's mother Lydia Belle Walker
