| Comment | Abundance: only known from the type specimen (Meiri et al. 2017). |
| Etymology | The specific epithet penangensis is in reference to the type locality, Penang Island. The suffix ensis is a derivation meaning “from” or “inhabiting.” It renders the specific epithet an adjective that must be in grammatical accord with the gender of Larutia. |
