| Synonym | Pseudocalotes baliomus HARVEY, SHANEY, HAMIDY, KURNIAWAN & SMITH 2017 |
| Distribution | Indonesia (Sumatra) Type locality: forest west of the mountain crest next to the road from Tapan to Sungai Penuh, Sumatera Barat Department, Sumatra, Indonesia, 2.04294°S, 101.31129°E (WGS 84 geodetic system), 1181 m elevation. |
| Reproduction | oviparous. The eggs of this species are oval-shaped rather than fusiform as in Bronchocela (Diong & Lim 1998). UTA R- 60549 (SVL 66.5 mm) has one large egg (5.0 X 3.8 mm) and four small, undeveloped eggs (1.3–1.8 mm in diameter) in the right ovary. This specimen’s oviducts are highly convoluted and somewhat distended, suggesting that the developing egg would not have been the specimen’s first clutch. |
| Types | Holotype: MZB 9813, adult male. collector’s tag ENS 14429), collected by Elijah Wostl and Eric N. Smith on 23 June 2013. Paratypes. An adult male (RMNH 3013a) and female (RMNH 3013b) from “Sumatra” Indonesia, collected by Salomon Müller. The paratypes lack any locality data other than “Sumatra.” |

| Etymology | The new name baliomus is a masculine adjective derived from the Greek adjective balios meaning spotted and Greek noun omos meaning shoulder. The new name refers to the diagnostic white blotches on the shoulder of Pseudocalotes baliomus. |
