Comment | There is some debate about species allocation to Taeniophallus. Most species have been assigned to Echinanthera now. See links to photos under this genus. Synonymy: Abegg et al. 2022 erected a new genus, Myersinia for Taeniophallus nebularis. Although they did provide a diagnosis, they appear to have no DNA data and thus do not represent the species in a phylogenetic context. Etymology (Myersinia): Named after the North American herpetologist Charles W. Myers (1936–2018). The genus name is feminine. |
Etymology | Named after the Latin noun nebula (mist, fog), thus nebularis meaning ‘‘belonging to the mist’’. The suffix (a variant of -alis), for stems ending in l, is declined -aris (masculine and feminine), -are (neuter). |
