Etymology

The binomial nomenclature references Schwarzenegger, because of the markedly developed '(biceps-like)' middle femora of the males.[1] Erwin later remarked in an interview that his students had prepared an image of A. schwarzeneggeri and sent it out to Schwarzenegger himself: he signed it "Thanks for thinking of me - Arnold" and returned it.

Other species in the genus named by Terry L. Erwin include Agra liv, named after Liv Tyler, and Agra katewinsletae, named after Kate Winslet.[2]

gollark: Perhaps I should actually make PotatoASM, but more accursed.
gollark: Well, lots of people do like having those.
gollark: The US has *much* mass surveillance, in some places apparently near-UK-level bizarre knife laws, insane and incoherent governance, and apparently bad policing.
