Rushy/obligate baptism: no more delay!!!

And then, it turns out that I had to baptize my species before the presentation instead of leave them as sp. 1 JCG, sp. 2 JCG, etc (the code adopted in the beginning of this history)... nobody knows how much I broke my head thinking in appropriate names... because they will last more than I in this planet/history-sequence, and because MY weevils as beautiful as they are, deserve at least pretty names I think...

Anyway, I have to recognize that I have the trend to delay things... maybe is just a matter of custom... so, it was the last week before the meeting in which a kind of inspiration invades me and I decided to name the species according to their coloration pattern (in most of the cases) because it is quite distinct but is not easy to code as a character... also because as a good Colombian, I work better under pressure...

The names are:

Apodrosus eximius (meaning uncommon) because it was the species with the lowest number of specimens in our field trip across the Dominican Republic.

Apodrosus artus (meaning narrow) in reference to its narrow body shape compared to the other species.

Apodrosus andersoni, named after the weevil specialist Robert Anderson (Canadian Museum of Nature) who has helped me a lot from my beginning as a "weevil person"

Apodrosus earinusparsus (earinus - green; sparsus - sprinkled) because of the coloration of the scale coverage.

Apodrosus epipolevatus (epipole - surface; levatus - raise) because of the elevations of the elytral surface.

Apodrosus mammuthus from mammuth (large), its the largest species.

Apodrosus viridium (viridis - green; ium - diminutive suffix) a small and green species.

Apodrosus stenoculus (steno - narrow; oculus - eye) with narrow eyes in lateral view, compared to all other species.

Apodrosus quisqueyanus for Quisqueya, the name for the Hispaniola island in Taíno language.

Apodrosus empherefasciatus (emphere - apparent; fasciatus - striped) because the elytral scales are slightly darker in interspersed intervals, appearing lightly striped.

Apodrosus adustus (meaning brown, tanned) because of the predominant dorsal brown coloration.

Well, it wasn't easy to choose, but a kind of interesting and funny, and I'm happy with the names now jejeje!
