This species was described by the British diplomat Henry Fletcher Hance (1827–1886). The specific name is derived from the Greek ῥόδον (rose) + χεῖλος (lip)

On reading this, it occurs to me that Gaiman could have had an endless supply of WILLING partners for whatever his heart desired, no matter how depraved. Which means what he really desired was UNWILLING partners. Which means Neil Gaiman is a rapist. Period.

Kelaart, who was usually quite good at explaining his name choices, unfortunately did not elaborate on the name fidelis. The description merely stated: “This singularly marked species looks, when the tentacles and branchiæ are retracted, like a large bean” and “It is very tenacious of life”…
