Comment 
EtymologyThe authors derived the masculine specific epithet from the Tagalog (Filipino) verb sumiklab, meaning to burst out quickly, or hotly, or to ignite and flare up, in reference to the new species type locality, Mt. Mayon, and the other volcanos of the Bicol Peninsula. One of the world’s most active and dangerous volcanoes, Mayon’s near-perfect, symmetrical cone is an iconic feature of the Bicol Region volcanic landscape and a picturesque symbol of the national significance of Bicolandia in Philippine culture (Fig. 5).
