 Variant spellings: 



Hesperominus Cameron, 1937a, p. 17. 

 Notes : Cameron described this genus under the spelling Hesperominus and 

 the species under the spelling Hesperomimus. One of these is obviously a 

 typographical error. The Zoological Record for 1937 assumes that Ees- 

 perominus was the correct spelling, but by analogy with Pacderomimus, a 

 near relative, Hesperomimus would be more likely. Furthermore, Hes- 

 peromimus would imply a mimic of Hesperus, with which Cameron com- 

 pares his genus, whereas Hesperominus appears to have no definite meaning, 

 HESPEROMINUS [Error for Hesperomimus^.
