Etymology
edit
According to Rahmouni, Vanhove & Šimková, “the name evikae was given in honour of the Czech parasitologist Dr. Eva Řehulková (Department of Botany and Zoology, Faculty of Science, Masaryk University, Czech Republic) who studies monogenean flatworms, for her contributions to their research.” [1]
