| Etymology | The specific epithet comes from the Latin words “quadri-” and “virga”, meaning "four stripes." Adelphicos is neuter, therefore quadrivirgatum is the correct epithet (LaDuc, 1995). The genus was named after the Greek word "adelphikos" an adverb ("brotherly," Brown, 1956: 69), and the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (1985, Art. 11g) requires that generic names be nouns or treated as nouns. |
