Etymology The name of the species is derived from the British Sir Francis Drake, nicknamed âEl Draqueâ, active as pirate in the Caribbean, birth about 1540, death 1596. Pirates have been regarded either as criminals or as heroes depending on the point of view. This is especially true for Sir Francis Drake. The species which is named after him appears problematic in its relationship to other species of Centroderes, so the name takes up the ambigouity of the name giver. One popular name of Kinorhyncha is âmuddragonâ (see Neuhaus 2013) which rises the expectation of a fierceful animal. Hence the association with piratesâs names in this paper. [details]
