Systematics: The spellings "Andaspis leucophleae" and "A. leucophloeae" both occur in Rao & Ferris (1952). According to IZCN Article 24.2.3: "If a name is spelled in more than one way in the original work, the first author to have cited them together and to have selected one spelling as correct is the First Reviser. The selected spelling (if not incorrect under Articles 32.4. or 32.5) is thereby fixed as the correct original spelling; any other spelling is incorrect (and therefore unavailable [Art. 32.4])."
Varshney (2002) listed both spellings and then denoted A. leucophleae as valid and A. leucophloeae as invalid, satisfying the First Reviser criteria and therefore fixing precedence.
