I am forwarding this for the following point from Singh ji:
"An important point raised by many and noted by me also. Normally the specific epithet is formed by changing the ending of the word. The only exception is when we use Noun in Apposition as a specific epithet ,, but then it should start with capital initial. It is not so in this case. Any explanation.?"

I have seen this paper and the name, and the other on namonarmadense. I am confused how these names are correct. To some extent, I do think bharat is ok. I think there is a provision to latinise the names, but it is not compulsory these days. I will look into it.Pankaj

Here the specific epithet "bharat" has been used as a noun. However, I wish it should have been used as "bhatatensis" instead.Recently Prof. D. Maity also published such a disputable epithet, "tista".Kind regards,Tapas.
