Dear Doug,
I understand you mean why so many popular names were erected in German
language for labeling species not identified at first.
I think it was because the first serious books about Apistos have been
published in Germany: Schmettkamp (1982) and Koslowski (1985).
They published photos of many new species to the hobby using popular
names.
