Etymology: Pyramodon: Greek, pyramis = pyramid + Greek, odous = teeth (Ref. 45335).
Eponymy: The etymology says that the binomial is in honour of “…two mature women who supported and endured this project.” It is not stated, but we presume that the two women, both named Linda, are the authors’ partners. (Ref. 128868), visit book page.
