Thranduil, a character from J. R. R. Tolkien's Middle-earth
The genus is a contraction of Thranduil, the king of Mirkwood elves in J.R.R. Tolkien's mythology, which, as Thrandina, inhabit shady forests, and andina, referring to the Andean habitat.
In the 1977 animated version of The Hobbit, Thranduil is voiced by Otto Preminger.
