Talk:Desmoxytes purpurosea

Species name

[1] This said it is purpurosea, not purposea. Which one is right? --Octra Bond (talk) 14:47, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Purpurosea seems to make sense. Purpur is German for purple, and rosea would be red, although it's not German, so it's like a purplish-red. Maybe purpur appears in the same language as rosea. Bob the Wikipedian ^{(talk • contribs)} 18:52, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Date of discovery?

Does someone know when this species was discovered? this information should be in the article, i think this species was discovered very late, if they write about it as a newly discovered species in 2007. Kurtilein (talk) 15:14, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
