Well, "Epistello" already honors the list, from Latin "epistola," a letter.
Indeed, if Fabio chooses to honor the list for their contributions, it should
be in the specific epithet, not the generic. Genus epistellorum, for example.
This allows him to honor the anatomy of the taxon or it's provenance with the
generic epithet. "Fruilihadros epistellorum" or some similar construct, or the
many novelties this taxon has. Nonetheless, Fabio now his the means for the
job.

Little steps are often the hardest to take. We are too used to making leaps
in the face of adversity, that a simple skip is so hard to do. We should all
learn to walk soft, walk small, see the world around us rather than zoom by it.
