The word foliaceus is a specific epithet used in the name of several species. Foliaceus is Latin and is used to describe something that is leafy or looks like a leaf.[1] It is applied to plants with large or showy foliage, and to animals with features that resemble leaves (such as the wings of the fly Exilibittacus foliaceus).[2]
