CommentSynonymy: after AVILA et al. 2012. 
EtymologyDedicated to Jorge Daniel Williams, Argentinean herpetologist from the La Plata Museum, Buenos Aires Province. He is in charge of the herpetological collection of the La Plata Museum, and his work is mainly focused on the herpetofauna of Buenos Aires Province. He was one of the founders of the Asociación Herpetólogica Argentina (AHA), president for a decade, and always an enthusiastic advocate.
