Gender, form, and etymology
Etymology:
"άργύρτης saccularius." The Latin word means swindler or pickpocket. The original description does not mention to what this relates. The Greek suffix -της, tes, seems to form nouns representing a state of being, apparently feminine, also indicated by the originally only species Argyrtes mexicana.
