Porrostoma rhipidius is a species of net-winged beetle in the family Lycidae, found widely in Australia. The name is sometimes misspelled as "rhipidium"[1] but under ICZN Article 31 species names that are nouns, such as rhipidius, must retain their original spelling regardless of generic placement.[2]
