EtymologyNamed after Roxane Coombs, a special friend, talented artist, and excellent librarian. As the former Special Collections librarian at Harvard's Museum of Comparative Zoology, Roxane was instrumental in assisting the author to locate numerous rare and obscure works on snakes. She has illustrated a number of snake specimens for his publications, proofread his manuscripts, and supported his research in numerous ways.
