 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! >>

Very cute. Time for you guys to contact paleo editor Henry Gee at Nature with 
this little correction.
