Perspicillatus

Latest comment: 14 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

According to http://www.archives.nd.edu/cgi-bin/words.exe?perspicillum at least, perspicillum means "spectacles" or "glasses", so perspicillatus would mean "spectacled", not "conspicuous" (which could be e.g. insignis) - changed. Tjunier (talk) 21:38, 6 March 2010 (UTC)Reply
