The generic name, Anepischetosia, was created by Australian herpetologists Richard W. Wells and C. Ross Wellington in 1985 to replace the generic name, Anepischetos, which was preoccupied by a genus of moths.[2]Anepischetosia is in the subfamilyEugongylinae.[4]
Reproduction
A. maccoyi appears to be ovoviviparous. The Reptile Database describes the species as being oviparous.[2] However, Lucas and Frost, in their original description of the species in 1894, wrote, "Young developed within the body of the parent, eight or nine being brought forth in January or February."[5]
