Hi, I came by to promote this but I don't see in the hook source (1) any connection between this species and Fabricius discovering it, or (2) any mention of Fabricius working as a missionary; he seems to have spent his time as a naturalist. Yoninah (talk) 22:45, 23 September 2020 (UTC)
- Template:Ping The species box has a citation for Fabricius being the first to describe the species, and I have added a citation for his missionary work. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:22, 24 September 2020 (UTC)
