CommentDistribution: see map in Zug 2020: 47 (Fig. 18). 
EtymologySpecific name derives from the impression of leg armor by the heavily tuberculate outer surface of the hindlimbs, hence wearing leg armor, that is, greaves. “Greave” derives from the Old French greve for leg armor. The Latin fero refers to “carrying,” and its suffix is ifer, hence grevifer, or wearer of leg armor. The specific name is a noun in apposition.
