Etymology
The generic name of this species is derived from the Greek word ξένος (xénos, meaning "strange") and the Latin word phallus (meaning "penis"), while its specific name is derived from the Latin word umbrātilis (meaning "remaining in shade").[1] The full binomial can therefore be translated as "strange shady penis".
