Gender, form, and etymology
Etymology:
The species name chiantiensis is derived from the Chianti Mountains where the species is apparently endemic to and the suffix “-ensis” (Latin) meaning “originating from” or “inhabiting”. This name reflects the endemic nature of the species and hopefully draws attention to the importance of conservation of the unique biodiversity in this understudied mountainous region.
