Etymology (emersoni): “Dedicada en homenaje al Dr. Helio Emerson Belluomini, del Instituto Butantan, en reconocimiento a su valiosa contribución al estudio de las serpientes venenosas del Brasil, a la producción media de veneno y la determinación de la potencia letal de éstos, en animales domésticos.” |
