| Etymology |
The specific epithet “globicephala” is a compound Latinized adjective derived from the Greek roots “globo-” (γλοβός, globós, “sphere, ball”) and “-cephala” (κεφαλή, kephalḗ, “head”), meaning “globular-headed” or “spherical-headed”. The name refers to the species’ distinctive rounded head shape, which is a key diagnostic character distinguishing it from related Myrmecina taxa. |
