There are real names like
Lampona spec Platnick, 2000
Gobiosoma spec (Ginsburg, 1939)
Globigerina spec
However in some cases spec is a common abbreviation from species and we parse spec as species or infraspecies in names like
Eunotia genuflexa Norpel-Schempp nov spec
Ctenotus spec.
Byrsophlebidae spec. 2
Naviculadicta witkowskii LB & Metzeltin nov spec
The first group is legitimate, and the second is not. We can clean it up by a preparsing step that removes everything after (and including) either spec. or nov spec with space or word border at the start.
