| Etymology |
The name ‛barrettoi’ is a masculine noun in the genitive case. Named after the stewards of Tai Po Kau Headland, the Barretto family, who have cared for the headland for several generations and kindly provided us sampling access to their property. Their determined ecological conservation efforts for the site and Hong Kong in general are an example to all. |
