Etymology: Aplatophis: Greek, aplatos, apletos = terrible + Greek, ophis = serpent (Ref. 45335); zorro: zorro in reference to the coloration of the pore pattern along the face, reminiscent of the slash mark of the swordsman Zorro (Ref. 43686).
Eponymy: This is not, strictly speaking, an eponym as it is named after a fictitious person: ‘Zorro’ who was a character created (1919) by New York-based pulp writer Johnston McCulley. [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.
