CommentAbundance: only known from the type specimen (Meiri et al. 2017). 
EtymologyThe specific epithet panchorensis is in reference to the type locality of the Bukit Panchor State Park, Pulau Pinang, Peninsular Malaysia. The suffix -ensis is from the Latin word for “from, of” or “from a place” and renders the specific epithet an adjective.
