| Etymology | Littauer, 2025: 278: This name has no etymological note in the original description. Littauer, 2025: 278, could find no specific or tangential meaning in the text for why this word was chosen. Cinctus is either an adjective or a noun in Latin. Without a specific reason in the original description why cinctum should be treated as an adjective, under Article 31.2.2 this name must be treated as a noun in apposition and left unchanged. This name was combined as Chelaner cinctus by Ettershank, 1966: 96, which is an unjustified emendation. |
