Hyalinobatrachium dianae

Which is bunk. There's, like, a spider species named sonicus hedgehogidae or some shit like that, for the lulz, but heaven forbid we name this guy after his lookalike.

Yeah yeah, rules and conventions, blah blah blah. Some rules need to be broken.

I'm pretty sure that when it comes to newly discovered species the person that discovers it gets to name it which is why we have stuff like sonicus and the Beyonce fly and the Obama spider and stuff like that.

So is that thing going to start suing palaeontologists that discover similar species?

This was 9 years ago, though. What's the statute of limitations on good news?

My brain: 9 years ago? So 2007 right?

No that's 2015 :'(
