These details, e.g. detailed descriptions or comparisons (about 1910 characters) are available for collaborators and contributors. Please contact us for details. |

| Etymology | The name is a genitive honorific for the collector, Richard Zweifel (1926–2019), whose contributions to knowledge of the herpetofauna of New Guinea and nearby islands were foundational to current understanding. See Cole & Zweifel 2020 for biographical details. |
