Spelling Without comment Blake (1981) changed the spelling from the original 'bransfieldia' to 'bransfieldium' to match Pseudoscalibregma which is a neuter genus (noting the original genus Eusclerocheilus was masculine. However, 'bransfieldia' is a noun, and is therefore unchanging with genus gender. See etymology of Eusclerocheilus bransfieldia [details]
