| Comment | Distribution: see map in KÖHLER et al. 2012. Synonymy: With the synonymization of Ptychoglossus and Alopoglossus, Alopoglossus festae PERACCA 1904 becomes a junior homonym of Diastemalepis (= Alopoglossus) festae PERACCA 1896, hence HERNÁNDEZ-MORALES et al. 2020 proposed a replacement name, Alopoglossus harrisi, for the latter. |
| Etymology | Named in honor of Dennis Harris, for his outstanding contributions to the taxonomy of Alopoglossidae. Harris completed the only available review of the genus Ptychoglossus, and figures as an author in the descriptions of almost one third of the currently known alopoglossid species. Alopoglossus festae was named after Dr. Enrico Festa (1868-1939), an Italian zoologist. He visited Egypt, Palestine, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria (1893) and collected in Panama and Ecuador (1895-1898). He worked for Museo e Instituto di Zoologia Sistematica dell'Universita di Torino (1899-1923) as Deputy Assistant Professor (1899), retiring as Honorary Vice Director (Beolens et al. 2011: 89). |
