Han solo

Han Solo Translingual thumb Etymology Named in 2005 by Samuel Turvey. The original publication states that the generic name Han genus 1 is a reference to the Han Chinese, the largest ethnic group in present-day China; and the specific epithet la solo refers to the fact that the species is the youngest Diplagnostidae fossil found to that date, suggesting that it was the last surviving member of that family. However, Turvey has stated elsewhere that he named it after Han Solo because some friends dared him to name a species after a Star Wars character.
