Vailima, Samoa
Vailima is the name of a village about four miles south of Apia, the capital of Samoa. The population is 769. Vailima is part of the electoral political district Tuamasaga.

A widely quoted misinterpretation states that the name means "five waters", as the word "lima" means both "hand" and "five" in Samoan. Connections with Robert Louis Stevenson The village is most known as the location of the last residence of Robert Louis Stevenson, named "Villa Vailima", which is now the Robert Louis Stevenson Museum. The estate has had a varied past with it functioning further as the residence for the governor of German Samoa, the administrator of the New Zealand mandatory authority and the Samoan head of state. It is now a museum in honour of Stevenson and has been substantially restored. Stevenson is buried in a tomb on Mount ...

Subsequently, five more species have been identified. It may be a synonym for '' Pancorius''. Name The genus was originally named Vailima after the name of the last residence of Robert Louis Stevenson and the village where it is situated. The genus name ''Vailima'' was erected by Peckham & Peckham in 1907. However, the name was misspelled ''Vailimia'' by Prószyński in 2003. The alternate name ''Vailimia'' in 2006 was suggested by C. F. Kammerer as the name was found to be preoccupied by the fish genus '' Vailima''. Species Most species are found in Borneo, though '' Vailimia longitibia'' was first identified in China, and ''Vailimia ajmerensis'' ...
