Etymology: The epithet mixtlanensis derives from the word Mixtlan in the Nahuatl language. The Tenoch culture used to call Mixtlan the region where the species is found. Mixtlan is a compound word, which is made up of the words Mixtli (cloud) and -Tlan (place). Hence it means “the place of the clouds”.
