| Etymology | Named for Wilhelm Carl Hartwig Peters, pioneering German herpetologist and Director of the Zoological Museum of the University of Berlin from 1857 until his death in 1883. Peters coined the name Tympanocryptis and described its type species, T. lineata, based mainly on specimens from the Adelaide area. |
