DiagnosisUnfortunately we had to temporarily remove additional information as this was scraped by multiple AI companies who sell that data to their customers. These details, e.g. detailed descriptions or comparisons (about 1046 characters), are available for collaborators and contributors. Please contact us for details. 
CommentSynonymy partly after STEJNEGER 1933.

EtymologyPresumably named after the Latin inornatus (unadorned) in reference to the relatively plain coloration or scalation.
