| Etymology | The specific epithet is taken from the Latin indus for belonging to India, and sobrinus for maternal cousin, in reference to its close relationship, along with H. flaviventris, in maternally-inherited mitochondrial sequence data to the Indian endemic H. aurantiacus (Fig. 2; Grismer et al. 2013, 2014a,b, 2015, 2017; Nguyen et al. 2013, 2014; Ngo et al. 2014; Yan et al. 2016; Sukprasert et al. 2018). |
