| Etymology | The specific epithet, suturalis, comes from Latin sūtūrālis "sewn or stitched together" (sūtūra "a sewn seam" + -lis "the activity of"). Its reference is to the color pattern which has a clear and pronounced distinction between dark dorsal and lighter ventral coloration, with a sharp transition between the two. |
