砂子澤, Sunago-sawa, means "Sparkling Sandy Wetlands." The expected rendaku, sawa becoming zawa is not used because it wasn't used in the 1882 epithet. Note that the spelling of sawa, 澤, is the pre-reform character (Kyūjitai) for wetlands/marsh, which was replaced by 沢 (Shinjitai system). Note also that the Checklist 1st ed. incorrectly spelled "sunago" as "sunaga." ED)
