| Comment | Abundance: only known from its original description (Meiri et al. 2017). |
| Etymology | The species name tambora is a noun used in apposition. It is used not only to identify the collection locality, but also to commemorate the large eruption of Gunung Tambora in 1815, which no doubt significantly realigned the local natural world on its slopes. |
