Ok....we all know where most scientific names come from....but can anyone tell me where "Sistrurus miliarius barbouri " came from?
hint...this is a trick question. You will NOT find the answer on a search engine. [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]

Considering there are many different species with the "Barbouri" distinction I would think that is the name of the person who discovered it. Thomas Barbour?

Well Sistrusus is latin for RattleTail.
Miliarius means "of the millet seed". Whatever that is!! lol
and I think Ed_r is right about Thomas Barbour.

Actually, barbouri was described by Gloyd, if I remember correctly. It is a taxonomical faux pas to name a species after yourself.

miliarius Is probably in reference to the skin condition after a bite , similar to Miiaria
Sisturus is to rattle or have a rattle.
And I'll stick with Thomas Barbour for the discoverer
