Agra schwarzeneggeri is a species of carabid beetle. It is named after the actor Arnold Schwarzenegger. The holotype was collected in Costa Rica and first described to science in 2002. [1]
The binomial nomenclature references Schwarzenegger, because of the markedly developed '(biceps-like)' middle femora of the males. [1] Erwin later remarked in an interview that his students had prepared an image of A. schwarzeneggeri and sent it out to Schwarzenegger himself: he signed it "Thanks for thinking of me - Arnold" and returned it.
Other species in the genus named by Terry L. Erwin include Agra liv , named after Liv Tyler, and Agra katewinsletae , named after Kate Winslet. [2]
