Etymology "The specific epithet of the species refers to the Latin name Satâna, derived from the Hebraic ןָטָּׂשַה (ha-shatán), which is a negative entity of the Abrahamic religions that seduces humanity to commit sin. Satan has been traditionally represented in graphic and literary arts as a fallen angel with conspicuous horns, which resembles the recurved anterolateral margins of the segment 1 tergal plate of the new species."
