Etymology: From the fictional creature created by J.K. Rowling in the book ‘Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them’. Graphorns are a breed of large hump-backed horned creatures. These are known to have two large golden horns, similar to the humeral spines of this new genus. In addition, the crenulate pronotal margins and elevated pronotal disk resembles the large dorsal hump of the graphorns.
