Etymology | This species is named to recognize Fred Kraus’s past and continuing contributions to the systematics and biology of the New Guinea herpetofauna. I also wish to acknowledge our friendship and his ongoing tolerance for answering my questions on New Guinea and the exotic herpetofauna of Hawaii. The specific name is a noun in apposition. |
