アルゴス
The genus "Hypargos" was introduced in 1862 by the German naturalist Ludwig Reichenbach to accommodate the pink-throated twinspot. The name combines the Ancient Greek "hypo" meaning "beneath" with "Argos" from Argus Panoptes, the many-eyed giant in Greek mythology. The genus "Hypargos" is sister to the genus "Euschistospiza" which contains two more species with "twinspot" in their common name.
