Maury and C. Szumik leg . Etymology. The specific epithet is a noun taken in apposition from the band’s name Megadeth, a U.S. heavy metal band lead by guitarist Dave Mustaine. Diagnosis. Males of Goloboffia megadeth sp. nov differ from G. vellardi in having a thinner and longer em- bolus with a wavy tip ( Figs 33–36 ); females differ from the other known species by the shape of the spermathecae with large and rounded lobes and very short ducts of the same length as spermathecal head width ( Fig. 47 ).
