| Etymology |
The specific epithet recticephalum combines the Latin recti‑ (from rectangulum, “rectangular”) and the Greek ‑cephalum (from kephalē, “head”), referring to the species’ distinctive rectangular head shape, which corrects the earlier mischaracterization of the head as square (quadraticephalum). The name highlights this key diagnostic trait while maintaining nomenclatural consistency with the original description. |
