Comment | Behavior: The holotype was sleeping on a leaf, 0.75 m aboveground in closed-canopy montane forest at 21:43 h. |
Etymology | The name inauris is a feminine noun in apposition, meaning earring, eardrop, or pendant in Latin. The new name calls attention to the largest scale on the holotype: the pale yellow, rounded, and domed subtympanic scale. |
