EtymologyNamed after Greek chloros (χλωρός), green, greenish-yellow, pale green + Greek stiktos (στικτός), marked with spots, dappled. [“...The specific epithet is an adjective derived from the Greek words "chloros," meaning "green" and "stiktos," meaning "spotted" or "dappled," and refers to the primarily green dorsum of males in this species, and their light green dorsal spots....”].
