Gender, form, and etymology
Etymology:
The genus is named in honor of the late Bhairav Aryal (Nepali: भैरव अर्याल), an iconic satirist of Nepali literature popularly known as the Emperor of Laughter (Nepali: हाँस्य सम्राट). The second part of the name, -donta, derives from the Greek word ὀδών, meaning tooth, and is a reference to Bhairav Aryal’s iconic smile.
