A bunch of species of tarantula in the Thrixopelma genus recently got moved to their own genus Ewok. This genus includes the newly discovered Ewok aycarumba. |

Pretty sure that temporaria is related in this case to temporal, not temporary. It'd be like frog of the times or frog of the right season or something like that. I could be wrong though. As for little shits I would try something with copro- in it. That's the greek word for shit. Like coprophage is a shiteater or Copromorphidae are a family of moths that have shit like camouflage. |

Looking for the backstory of the frog name, here's another gem from here.
Zoologists are fun. |

Also "sub-", at least in mycological names. The other day, I read that there's a mushroom called "Agaricus subsubensis" and I felt like I was being trolled. |

While we're at it, let's make an honorable mention of the naughtiest of all Amorphophallus species, A. fornicatus. |
