Comment 
EtymologyThe specific epithet is in reference to the fact that Palawan is often referred to as ‘‘the last ecological frontier’’ of the Philippines. The name is an adjectival derivation from the Tagalog adjective huling (meaning last) and noun hangganan (meaning frontier), and thus directly translates to ‘‘Eutropis from the last frontier.’’
