| Etymology of specific epithet |
Named for Pluto, god and king of the underworld in Roman mythology, referring to the nefarious and sinister appearance of the males; a noun in apposition. The contrasting beauty of the females reminds us of Narcissus flowers, a sacred symbol of Pluto that grew along the River Styx at the boundary of the underworld.
