[1][2] In 2015, this newly discovered species was named in direct reference to former Boston Bruins (NHL) goaltender, Tuukka Rask.
[1] The specific name tuukkaraski is in direct reference to the Boston Bruins (NHL) goaltender, Tuukka Rask.
The reasoning given by the authors was that "[t]his species is named after the acrobatic goaltender for the Finnish National ice hockey team and the Boston Bruins, whose glove hand is as tenacious as the raptorial fore tarsus of this dryinid species”.
[1][2] The species description is based on a single female, the holotype, now stored in the collections of the National Museums of Kenya.
The wings are fully developed; the forewings have a transverse band whereas the hindwings are hyaline.
