Contradicting the Eponym Dictionary of Reptiles
[edit]The eponym dictionary says the species was named for BC Brown (1920-2008). I removed the source because, while BC Brown is mentioned in the describing text, the authors explicitly say that they named the species for W. W. Brown, who collected the holotype. I also found a 2020 paper that lists species named after W. W. Brown and they included Micrurus browni. Just wanted to document in case this comes up in the future.
