| Remarks | 'unernak', general name applied to members of Gymnelinae borrowed from Inuktitut; 'caméléon', i.e., any of a family (Chamaeleontidae) of chiefly arboreal Old World lizards with prehensile tail, independently movable eyeballs, and unusual ability to change the color of the skin (Ref. 27888), used in reference to the variable colors of the specimens which are not always green as alluded to in the Latin specific name 'viridis'. |
