| Etymology | The new species is named after Fuxi ( 伏羲), one of the human ancestors in Chinese mythologies, usually depicted in cultural relics as half‐man and half‐snake. The common postures of Fuxi resembles a cobra in reared status; this species is named for the impact that snake had in human culture. The specific nomen is a noun in apposition. |
