CommentAbundance: only known from its original description (Meiri et al. 2017). 
EtymologyThe specific epithet supriatnai is a non-latinized patronym in honor of Jatna Supriatna, in recognition of his important investigation of the reptiles and amphibians of the Togian Islands, the key role he played in the designation of protected status for these islands, his enduring commitment to the protection of Indonesian biodiversity, and his strong support for our herpetological biotic survey efforts in Indonesia.
