&quot; is given as a noun in apposition and refers to the name of the Karen people. Originally inhabiting wide areas in southern and southeastern Myanmar, many Karen have migrated to Thailand, having settled mostly on the Thailand-Myanmar border, including the Suan Phueng District, the type locality of the new species, due to the political turmoil during the end of XX - beginning of XXI centuries. We received significant help and assistance from the local Karen community in Suan Phueng during our field surveys and want to thank them for their permanent support. NAP also thanks Karen Sarkisian for his support and encouragement.
