Taxonomic Etymology:
Named for the fine stripes on its body.
Notophthalmus — From Greek nōton (νῶτον), meaning “back,” and ophthalmos (ὀφθαλμός), meaning “eye,” likely referring to the conspicuous dorsal spots (especially the red "eye-spots") seen in the eft stage.
perstriatus — From Latin per- (through or along) and striatus (striped), meaning “finely striped” or “lined throughout,” referring to the faint dorsal and lateral stripes.
