| Etymology | Named after terms in the dominant Ilocano dialect of northern Luzon Island, and chosen in recognition of the biogeographically and culturally distinct region in the northern Philippines. The specific epithet is derived from the Ilocano terms ‘‘ba´ kir,’’ meaning forest, and ‘‘alibut,’’ meaning lizard or gecko, in reference to the observed habitat preferences of the new species. |
