- Nomenclatural Comment
- The genus is named after the renowned escapologist Harry Houdini (1874–1926). The name alludes not only to the remarkable metamorphosis of the attenuate larva and the adult’s escape from the tight confines of the Sporadanthus stem, but also to the manner in which the species itself escaped detection by entomologists for so long
