Unique name for a new beetle species

From the pacific island of New Caledonia comes Arsipoda geographica - the first species named for a magazine (as far as I know). Entomologists are, well, swarming over the island, which has a very diverse insect fauna including some ancient lineages going back to when the island was part of a supercontinent.
