Etymology | Named in honor of Dr. Jay M. Savage for his contributions to Neotropical herpetology, especially his seminal works, mentorship, and leadership in tropical biology and conservation in Costa Rica. Dr. Savage helped found the Organization of Tropical Studies (OTS) and the type locality of this species is the Las Cruces OTS field station. |
