Comment 
EtymologyThe new name anolophium is a neuter noun used in apposition to Pelturagonia and derived from the Greek prefix “ano-” meaning above and noun lophos meaning crest. The new name refers to the diagnostic projecting, enlarged scales positioned above the dorsolateral caudal crests in Pelturagonia anolophium.
