| Etymology | Named after Greek leuco (λευκο), white + Greek melas (μέλας), black. The genus name “Sibon may derive from the Latin noun sibonis, a kind of hunting spear" (Lee, 1996:357, cited in McCranie 2011). The name may refer to the attenuate form of the type species of the genus. See J. Peters (1960) for a discussion of the complicated nomenclatural history of the generic name Sibon. H. Smith (1983) argued that the name was masculine in gender, not neuter or feminine, as regarded by some authors. |
