Kiyacursor

Kiya runner

• Kiya · Russian (place name) · Kiya, a river in Kemerovo Oblast, Siberia, Russia
• cursor · Latin · runner

The name appears to combine "Kiya", probably a reference to the Kiya River region in western Siberia, with the Latin "cursor", meaning "runner". It would therefore mean "runner from Kiya", which suggests a small, agile animal. I'm not certain of the details of its naming, so treat the place reference as tentative.

I have only a vague recollection of this genus and can't verify its authorship, year, age, classification or type species. I've left those fields blank rather than guess. Please check the original publication.
