Название
[править]- Голотип: ZSM 2170/2007 (FGZC 1250), adult male.
- Типовая местность: Forêt d'Ambre Special Reserve, ca. 5 km southwest of Sakaramy village, 12°28′00″S, 49°13′37″ E, 470 m a.s.l., Antsiranana Province, northern Madagascar, collected on 12 March 2007 by F. Glaw, J. Köhler and A. Razafimanantsoa.
- Etymology: The species epithet is an adjective derived from the Latin “desperatus” meaning “desperate”. Although the known range of the species is within a nature reserve established decades ago, its habitat is in truth barely protected and subject to numerous human-induced environmental problems resulting in severe habitat destruction, thus threatening the survival of the species.
