| Comment | Natural history: A nocturnal species, associated with granite boulders. Individuals emerge from the crevices and cracks in the rocks just after dusk and will retreat with the slightest disturbance. Mostly rupicolous in its habits but can be found on ground as well. |
| Etymology | The specific epithet is a noun in apposition for the Vindhya hill ranges from where the new species was collected. |
