Curiosities of Biological Nomenclature:
http://www.curioustaxonomy.net

A couple of favourites of mine..

Abra cadabra (Eames & Wilkins), 1957 (clam) Now, alas, in the genus Theora.

Ba humbugi (Solem), 1983 (endodontoid snail) from Mba island, Fiji.

Ittibittium (Houbrick), 1993 (mollusc) These are smaller than molluscs of the genus Bittium.

Foadia (Pakaluk), 1985 (beetle) FOAD is an acronym for "F*** Off and Die."
