Erwin, 2002[1]

Agra schwarzeneggeri is a speciesofcarabid beetle. It is named after the actor Arnold Schwarzenegger. The holotype was collected in Costa Rica and first described to science in 2002.[1]

Etymology[edit]

The binomial nomenclature references Schwarzenegger, because of the markedly developed '(biceps-like)' middle femora of the males.[1] Erwin later remarked in an interview that his students had prepared an image of A. schwarzeneggeri and sent it out to Schwarzenegger himself: he signed it "Thanks for thinking of me - Arnold" and returned it.

Other species in the genus named by Terry L. Erwin include Agra liv, named after Liv Tyler, and Agra katewinsletae, named after Kate Winslet.[2] Similarly, James Cameron had a species of frog named after him: Pristimantis jamescameroni.

Description[edit]

Agra schwarzeneggeri measure 14–17 mm (0.55–0.67 in) in length and 4.4–5.16 mm (0.173–0.203 in) in width.[1]
