It's maybe a bit forward to name it after himself, but it basically means 'Parmitera's Hephaestus [beetle]' (or cockroach, or whatever it is), not "I NAME MYSELF HEPHAESTUS". If there was a second species discovered and named, say <i>Hephaestus ciniphagus</i> ('ash-eating Hephaestus beetle') that wouldn't be putting the greek god Hephaestus on the same level as pica sufferer.Warren JBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11743987856127631574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1019017536875409609.post-35648961617703309202015-06-17T14:07:15.330-05:002015-06-17T14:07:15.330-05:00Bet you can also still smell the Typhoid Dillman f...Bet you can also still smell the Typhoid Dillman funk, too.
