Etymology There is no etymology statement for the genus. The name of the genus, Epigamia, is assumed to refer to the reproduction type of the species of the genus, by epigamy (a reproductive metamorphosis of the whole body, rather than solely a posterior part). The gender for Epigamia is not stated but is assumed to be female [details]
