F29A55B2D251BE95B845A04DC2A8C18B.taxon	etymology	Etymology. The genus is treated as Latin masculine and is a combination incorporating the Greek abaco, being broad and therefore like the genus Abax, and phrastos meaning " expression ". Given that these species are similar and related to Abacomorphus and Abacoleptus, the name roughly translates as yet " another expression of Abax. "	en	Will, Kipling W.
