Dang, beat me to it!  However, you are correct.  From the article:

"Etymology...The specific name honours Meeman Chang of the IVPP for *her* 
significant role in the study of the Jehol fauna" (emphasis added).

The name will need to be emended to _S. changiae_.  The -i- Latinizes Chang's 
name, but it does not make her male!
