Etymology: Diaphus: Greek, dis, dia = through + Greek, physa, phyo = to beget, to have as offspring (Ref. 45335); diademophilus: From the combination of the names diadematus and termophilus, alluding to the close relationship of the three species and also from the fact that in several characters diademophilus is intermediate between the other two species.
