Norbert:

It advances the interpretation that Barnes named
> the bug after his wife - Charlotte Gillett. Interesting.

If this was the case, don't you think he would have called it 
"charlottii", or after his wife's *maiden* name?  Naming it "gillettii" 
after his wife is effectively naming if after himself.
