Types | Holotype: LACM 148599, an adult male. Collected in September 1972 by James E. DeWeese and Ron T. Harris. Figs. 2C, 12, 14B in Cadle 2012. |
Diagnosis | Diagnosis: CADLE 2012: 210. |
Comment | Distribution: not known from Panama with certainty, but the closest locality in Costa Rica is only ~1 km away from the Panamanian border, hence most likely in Panama too (S. Lotzkat, pers. comm., 23 Dec 2015). Habitat: partly arboreal (Harrington et al. 2018). |
Etymology | The species name is derived from the Greek adjective krybelos meaning ‘‘hidden’’ or ‘‘secret.’’ Transliteration to Latin yields crybelum (with neuter gender ending to agree with the neuter generic name). It recognizes the cryptic nature of this species and the fact that it remained unrecognized for so long in a well-studied herpetofauna. |
