Comment 
EtymologyThe species epithet, bisubocularis comes from Latin (bi- "two" + sub- "below or under" + oculāris "of or pertaining to the eyes." The Latin oculāris is formed from oculus “eye” +‎ -āris "pertaining to"). This species is characterized by two subocular scale, which is the defining feature of the species.
