| Etymology | Stigmatomma draconis (draconis meaning of the dragon) is named for the superheated steam vents on Kwun Yam Shan mountain, near the collection locality, which is part of an inactive Jurassic volcano system. Local people call these superheated steam vents and resulting smoke-like steam ‘dragon breath’ (龍息). The phenomenon is particularly apparent when the surface temperatures are cold. |
