Etymology Author: Montuga and Lesenka "are named in honour of George Montagu and Emil Selenka respectively". The misspellings with transposed letters are strange and unexplained. The altered spellings are not because Montagu and Selenka already existed as genera. They don't, but perhaps the genus author was being cautious, expecting that their names would have been used already. [details]
