Etymology:

The species name kahloae patronym honoring Frida Kahlo (1907–1954), the iconic Mexican painter known for her vivid deeply personal and symbolic artwork. Her enduring connection to Mexican culture makes her an apt figure to be commemorated through this species, which is endemic to Mexico. In naming a species in her honor the author celebrates her artistic legacy and underscores the importance of preserving the biodiversity of her homeland.
