CommentThe genus Oriotiaris has been established by GÜNTHER 1864 but later synonymized with Japalura. See also Japalura tricarinata (BLYTH 1853).

Abundance: only known from its original description (Meiri et al. 2017). 
EtymologyNamed after Indian herpetologist Indraneil Das in recognition of his “outstanding merits for the exploration of the South Asian herpetofauna, and in gratefulness for many years of friendship and collaboration”.
