Named after the Czech collector Jiří Halada, who for many years has travelled the world collecting insects, many of which are deposited in the Linz collection and have served as the basis for hundreds of new species descriptions. His collections, along with those of other members of his family, have immeasurably increased our understanding of insect biodiversity.
