Cirolana Willeyi
''Cirolana'' is a genus of isopod crustaceans. Names Some of the species are named for people, as ''C. brucei'' for zoologist Niel L. Bruce, who has named many isopods; ''C. mercuryi'' for musician Freddie Mercury; ''C. cranchii'' for explorer John Cranch, a friend and employee of William Elford Leach who first described the genus in 1818. The generic name Cirolana is an anagram of Carolina, named for an unknown woman called Caroline. Leach named a number of isopod genera with anagrams of Caroline or Carolina. In the French work in which Leach proposed these names he gave each new genus a French name as well as a Latin zoological name. Sometimes - as with ''Cirolana'' - it was the French name that was the anagram of Caroline; in this case 'Cirolane'. Species ''Cirolana'' includes the following species: Subgenus ''Cirolana'' (''Anopsilana'') Leach, 1818 *'' Cirolana acanthura'' (Notenboom, 1981) *''Cirolana aleci'' (Brusca, Wetzer & France, 1995) *'' Cirolana barnardi'' (Bru ...
