etymology
Etymology. The specific epithet “ vogeli ” is named after Mr. Gernot Vogel (Heidelberg, Germany), for his excellent contributions to the taxonomy of the genus Dendrelaphis. He and his collaborators published a series of articles to resolve taxonomic problems in this genus and described several new species. We suggest Vogel’s Bronzeback as its English common name, and “ Wo Shi Guo Shu She (ÃK Ḧnjẘ) ” as its Chinese common name.
