Note: in the original description, the specimens have been reported from the tern Sterna hirundo, and therefore the original species epithet was the genitive of the full species name of the tern, namely "sternae hirundinis". The correct emended form of this species epithet would therefore be "sternaehirundinis", however the emendation "sternae" has been accepted as a justified emendation because it is in prevailing use.
