Gender, form, and etymology
Etymology:
The specific epithet is derived from the Nepali word “itishree”, which is the title of one of Bhairav Aryal’s books (see etymology of genus) and translates to “The End”. The name is also a reference to the tragic end of Bhairav Aryal’s life, as well as to his unyielding belief that an end is an invitation to a new beginning. The name is Latinized with the suffix “-a” to form a noun in the nominative case and is feminine in gender.
