- 2017 January 17, Becky Ferreira, “This Moth With a Golden Head and Small Genitals Was Named After Trump”, in Motherboard[1] (in English), archived from the original on 18 January 2017:
- Nazari settled on the name N. donaldtrumpi because the silky yellow-white scales these moths develop on their heads in adulthood reminded him of the President-elect’s signature hairdo.
- 2017 January 17, Hudson Hongo, “Moth With Scaly Head and Weird Dick Named in Honor of Donald Trump”, in Gizmodo[2] (in English), archived from the original on 10 December 2024:
- As the genitalia of moths and butterflies are extremely diverse, they hold an outsized importance to taxonomists, often serving as the only means of differentiating similar species. In this case, the creature’s unique head scales are far more prominent, but that doesn’t mean N. donaldtrumpi’s weird dick isn’t also worthy of study.
- 2017 January 18, Dan Satherley, “Mop-haired moth with tiny penis named after Donald Trump”, in Stuff[3] (in English), archived from the original on 4 September 2025:
- Donaldtrumpi has a wingspan only a centimetre across, and a "unique" tiny, curved penis. Mr Trump infamously defended the size of his own genitalia during the Republican debates.
- 2017 January 18, AJ Willingham, “New moth named in honor of Donald Trump”, in CNN[4] (in English):
- A biologist has named a newly discovered species of moth after our next president. The Neopalpa donaldtrumpi is a wee little creature found in parts of California and Baja, Mexico. […] It seems nature favors fancy golden hairdos as much as the man himself (who could forget China’s beloved Trump bird?), because the N. donaldtrumpi sports a very familiar-looking crown of yellowish scales.
- 2017 January 19, Benjamin Butterworth, “Scientists name moth with golden hair and a tiny penis after Trump”, in PinkNews[5] (in English), archived from the original on 14 November 2024:
- Its body is white and the wings are generally brown or greyish. One of its most identifiable features, though, is its very small genitalia. Evolutionary biologist Vazrick Nazari said the creature’s genitals are “comparatively smaller” than that of the Neopalpa neonata, its close relative. Naturally Mr Nazari sought to name it after the president elect. It’s to now be known as Neopalpa donaldtrumpi. Or just “donaldtrumpi” for short. And if you want to find a donaldtrumpi, well it lives in Mexico, or you can find some in California. Let’s hope that wall doesn’t keep all the donaldtrumpi out.
- 2018 December 18, Rhett Butler, “Relative of ‘penis snake’ amphibian named after Donald Trump”, in Mongabay[6] (in English), archived from the original on 22 May 2025:
- EnviroBuild notes that as an amphibian, Demorphus donaldtrumpi is particularly vulnerable to climate change. It is therefore using the name as a cheeky way to spur awareness about President Trump’s climate policies. “Donald Trump has claimed that climate change is a hoax by the Chinese,” stated the company. “As Demorphus donaldtrumpi is an amphibian, it is particularly susceptible to the impacts of climate change and is therefore in danger of becoming extinct as a direct result of its namesake’s climate policies.”
- 2018 December 19, Jack Guy, “Blind, burrowing amphibian named after Donald Trump”, in CNN[7] (in English):
- Dermophis donaldtrumpi was discovered in Panama and has a propensity for burrowing its head in the ground, said Aidan Bell, co-founder of sustainable building materials company EnviroBuild. […] “As demorphis[sic] donaldtrumpi is an amphibian, it is particularly susceptible to the impacts of climate change and is therefore in danger of becoming extinct as a direct result of its namesake’s climate policies,” said Bell in a statement.
