Etymology: As per Weems, 2018..."Although Thecachampsa ends in the letter a, "champsa" is not derived from a feminine first declension Latin word. Rather, champsa is derived from an Egyptian word for crocodile by way of Greek and is a masculine noun. rolex watch dials replica for sale Therefore, the Latin species name antiquus should be masculine to conform to the gender of the generic name. The name antiquus also has periorty.
