Etymology | Named after the Eromanga Basin, a Mesozoic sedimentary basin in inland eastern Australia that entirely circumscribes the distribution of the species. The name Eromanga is in turn derived from the small town of Eromanga (at which this species does not occur). Eromanga is used as a noun in apposition. |
