Status of Agustinia

The name Augustia is a nomen nudum, because Jose Bonaparte's 1998 paper that proposed this name was only one page long. Therefore, Augustia Bonaparte, 1998 is not considered pre-occupied.

Curry rogers (2005) confirms the placement of agustinia within Titanosauria.

Does the beetle really have anything to do with the name?

Is there any evidence that the name "Augustia" was changed to Agustinia because of Augustia? It's named after a person named Agustin, so one would assume Agustinia would have been the intended name all along. I haven't been able to find the conference abstract in which the name "Augustia" allegedly appears; assuming that it does appear in the abstract, is there any reason to assume it isn't just a typo for the intended name Agustinia?
