| Etymology | Named after the Lan Na Kingdom, or “Kingdom of a Million Rice Fields”. The Kingdom of Lan Na, also known as Lannathai, was centered in present-day northern Thailand from the 13th–18th centuries. The territories and cultural influence of the Lan Na Kingdom spread from easternmost Myanmar to northern Laos and southernmost present-day Yunnan of China, a geographic area that matches well the range of the new species. Though eventually the Lan Na Kingdom was united with the Siamese State in the early 19th century, its culture had a profound influence on different parts of northern Indochina. |
