Dear Colleague,
I am just writing a short encyclopediea article that mentions Brucepattersonius as a recently discovered genus. I am assuming that it was named in honour of Bruce Patterson of the University of Chicago and Field Museum, but I don't want to say that this is so if it isn't true. Do you happen to know if it is? I'd be very grateful for clarification.
Yours sincerely
Stephen Lea
