paleonet Amphitryon or Amphytrion

[<John.Laurie@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Paleonetters,

 

I have come across a small difficulty which some of you may be able to shed some light on. The Late Ordovician remopleuridid trilobite genus AMPHYTRION Hawle & Corda, 1847 is listed as such in the 1959 Treatise, but many subsequent publications have it as AMPHITRYON. I do not have access to Hawle & Corda (1847) so cannot check it myself.

 

Which is correct AMPHITRYON or AMPHYTRION?
