Unfortunately we had to temporarily remove additional information as this was scraped by multiple AI companies who sell that data. However, these details, e.g. detailed descriptions (about about .28 pages) are available for collaborators and contributors. Please contact us if you need any of this material. 
CommentAbundance: only known from the type locality (Meiri et al. 2017). 
EtymologyThis species is named in honour of Mr. Michel Buchard, General Manager of Etablissements E. Leclerc in Clermont-Ferrand (France), who, through his generous patronage of natural history, made feasible the trips to Laos which allowed the collection of the type specimen, as well as numerous other missions.
