meaning of erebennus

The word is in the LSJ "Middle Liddell"-- ἐρεβεννός (=erebennos latinized by Cope as erebennus) which states it means "dark, gloomy" and comes from Ἔρεβος (Erebus). Homer uses it.

Cope also referenced the texas indigo snake as Spilotes erebennus and he notes "Independently of color, this species differs from the coraïs in the shorter loreal...". ^[1]

A few years later: in their description of Conger erebennus , which Jordan and Synder (1901) initally called Leptocephalus erebennus, the authors gloss the specific epithet with "ἐρεβεννός, very black-- as Erebus." (p. 851).^[2]
