EtymologyNamed after Professor Charles Johnson Maynard (1845-1929), zoologist, ornithologist, and lepidopterist.

P. m. parvinaguae was apparently named after Latin parvus = small, little, and the type locality, Little Inagua.

P. m. uniformis was named after Latin uniformis, having only one shape, uniform, for the uniform brown or grayish-brown color above.
