Gender, form, and etymology
Noun in apposition
Etymology:

The species is named in token of the pairs of vivid orange maculae on the coxotrochanteral area of pro and mesothoracic legs on both sides . ‘Spurioculis’ canbe translated as ‘with/of false eyes’, i.e., the ‘leaf-mimic with false eyes’ or the ‘False-eyed Typophyllum’. It is a combination of spurius, meaning false in Latin and oculus, meaning eyes in Latin.
