Comment 
EtymologyNaultinus flavirictus sp. nov. (formed from the Lain flavus = yellow + rictus = gaping of the mouth) is named for the continuation of the yellow-orange colouring of the jaws and tongue onto the external corners of the mouth, which is diagnostic for the species. The epithet is formed as a noun in apposition.
