| Comment | |
| Etymology | named after Jorge W. Abalos, a “gifted novelist and university professor, who specialized in venomous animals, but mainly (as he proudly liked to remark), was a Chacoan rural teacher who identified with the people, idiosyncrasies and problems of this region.” [CABRERA 2012]. |
