Thanks folks.
S1ren - the shanjing are more concerned about the lack of worm...
Will - Ok, I confess, Latin isn't my strong point... desmognathus, something to do with the fixed jaw?

 

[william]

desmog- ligament and -gnathos jaw. It refers to the large number of ligaments in the jaws of the genus.

oh yeah, it's Greek as well....
