Etymology: The genus name, “Vietnamophryne,” is derived partly from Vietnam, the country of origin for the first individuals recorded of this genus, and the Greek noun “phryne,” which means “toad” (Poyarkov Jr. et al. 2018). The species epithet, “cuongi,” is in honor of Dr. Pham The Cuong from the Institute of Ecology and Biological Resources, Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology in Hanoi. Dr. Pham The Cuong has contributed scientific work focused on the amphibian diversity of Vietnam (Nguyen et al. 2021). |
