| Etymology |
The specific epithet “planiclypea” is a Latin compound adjective derived from “planus” (flat, level) + “clypeus” (referring to the clypeus), meaning “flat-clypeus”. This name highlights the diagnostic straight and non-protruding anterior clypeal margin that distinguishes this species from congeners with medially denticulate or concave clypeal structures. |
