Comment | Distribution: for a map see Schools & Hedges 2024: 134 (Fig. 50) Habitat: Comptus and Panolopus have both ground and tree-adapted ecomorphs (Schools et al. 2022). Similar species: Panolopus lanceolatus and P. chalcorhabdus cannot be morphologically separated based on standard characters; however, they can be separated by the angled subocular width divided by the angled subocular height (3.29–5.91 [n=7] versus 2.77–3.28 [n=5]) (Schools & Hedges 2024). Synonymy: from SCHOOLS & HEDGES 2024. |
Etymology | Apparently named after Greek chalkos = copper, and Greek rhabdos for lined, for its metallic pale bronzy dorsum, pattern of scattered brownish dots and nuchal lines. |
