Hypochondriaca Why was Baja California chorus Pseudacris hypochondriaca frog named by species scientific name hypochondriaca? I know the sense of words "hypos" and "chondros", and also ,,hypochondria" like subject of mental illness and psychiatry, but why? Was it explained during scientific description? How? Isn't it because of it's ability to change colours? Has it anything interesting bellow thorax? Thanks manytimes for any answer. --Vincislao Rossellini (talk) 14:39, 6 January 2015 (UTC) H.Z. in Praga Capvt Regnvm, Bohemiae in Imperivm Avstriacvm priore[reply]
