The specific epithet, marcianus, is in honor of American Brigadier General Randolph B. Marcy, who led surveying expeditions to the frontier areas in the mid 19th century.
Marcy’s 1859 book, The Prairie Traveler: A Handbook for Overland Expeditions, with Maps, Illustrations, and Itineraries of the Principal Routes between the Mississippi and the Pacific, written at the direction of the Department of State and published by the U.S. government, has been called one of the most important works in making possible the great Western overland migration of United States settlers in the last half of the 19th century.

A personal and political friend of Secretary of War William L. Marcy, Hopping was appointed a brigadier general in the Regular Army by President James K. Polk on March 3, 1847.
In this capacity he attracted attention by wearing at the court of Napoleon III a simple diplomatic uniform (for this he was rebuked by U.S. Secretary of State William L. Marcy, who had ordered American ministers to wear a plain civilian costume), and by joining with James Buchanan and Pierre Soulé, ministers to Great Britain and Spain respectively, in drawing up (October 1854) the famous Ostend Manifesto.
He was the son of Theodore Martine, a grocer and realtor, descended from French Huguenot immigrants.
Her work on Adventure Time gained her Emmy Award nominations for "It Came From the Nightosphere" and "Simon & Marcy", and an Annie Award nomination for Best Storyboarding in a Television Production.
Marcy returned to public life in 1853 to serve as United States Secretary of State under President Franklin Pierce.
