Gender, form, and etymology
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’ can be 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.
