Good to have that cleared up! I thought Romer must have been making fun of someone named Ed.

(There is a captorhinid named Reiszorhinus, and people who work on rhynchosaurs have long been waiting to find one they can name "Bentonognathus".)

Temnospondyls: A new year of gluttony: Edops

**
Note that Romer said the meaning of the name Edops is "swollen face"--so his etymology would be from Greek oidos "swelling":

http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.04.0058%3Aentry%3Doi)%3Ddos

The Latinized spelling could be oedo- or edo-, the same way Greek oikos "house" became eco- in ecology, economics, etc.

However, the spelling also looks like Latin edo, meaning a glutton, thus the confusion over the meaning of the name.
