Etymology Sclerolinum sibogae is named for the Siboga, the vessel from which the holotype was collected. Southward evidently regarded this as self evident as she does not comment on the name. 'sibogae' as Latinized is a feminine genitive. As the vessel Siboga belonged to the Dutch East Indian Government, the origin of the name "Siboga" may be from "Sibolga" (formerly sometimes Siboga), a city and a port located in the natural harbour of Sibolga Bay on the west coast of North Sumatra province (1.74, 98.78), in Indonesia.
