Etymology The new genus name is derived from the Greek νότιος (nótios), meaning southern, and from the Greek ῥῑìς (rhîìs; genitive: ῥῑνός (rhînós)), meaning nose. The name refers to the distribution of the genus in South America, as the most southern Siphonorhinidae, and to its acuminate head shape. Rhinus is often part of taxonomic names in the group
(e.g. Siphonorhinidae Cook, 1895, Siphonorhinus Pocock, 1894, Madagascarhinus Wesener, 2023). Masculine. [details]
