Etymology	Named after Greek streptos = winded, spiral, flexible, and Greek phero (carrying), phoreo (bearer, carrier), meaning "wearing a necklace”. Sphaerodactylus streptophorus sphenophanes was named from the Greek σφηνώ (= wedge) and σβέρκος (= neck), in reference to a temporal wedge-shaped mark present in most of the specimens examined when this subspecies was described.
