Голотип A. nazgul (самец). Из первоописания, fig. 2a.
Этимология: "The specific epithet “nazgul” is a noun in apposition in reference to the “Nazgûl”, characters created by J.R.R. Tolkien in The Lord of the Rings (1954). Also known as Ring-wraiths, they were nine men who succumbed to Sauron’s power and were transformed into white ghostly figures wearing black cloaks - the colouration that the new population being described herein shares" (первоописание, с. 279).
