Gender, form, and etymology
Etymology:

The species name chisosensis is derived from the Chisos 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 mountainous region.
