[The IPNI database notes that while Michaux published his 1803 species name as Botrypus virginicus, this was a correctable error in nomenclature and the accepted spelling of this species name is Botrypus virginianus. In 1973, Holub published the name Botrypus virginianus, using the correct spelling, but the subsequent nomenclatural correction to Michaux's name makes Holub's name superfluous.]
