Cetopsidium - Taxonomy

Taxonomy

Cetopsidium was described in 2005, its name coming from the Cetopsis, the first described cetopsid genus, and idium which means dimunutive, in reference to the relatively small size of Cetopsidium species. Three existing species were transferred to this genus and three new species were described. In 2009 a new species, Cetopsidium soniae, was described bringing the number of species in the genus to seven.
