| Etymology | Named after Herbert Brown (1848-1913), a journalist, editor, and newspaper proprietor in Tucson, and President of the Audubon Society of Arizona.
The genus was named after the Greek phyllon, meaning leaf, and rhynchos, meaning nose or snout, in reference to the enlarged rostral shield that resembles an upturned leaf. The gender is neuter. |
