Etymology
The specific name, agricolae, is in honor of American herpetologist Aaron Matthew Bauer. The German noun, Bauer, means "farmer" in English, which becomes agricola (genetive singular, agricolae) when translated into Latin.
The specific name, vieillardi, is in honor Eugène Vieillard, a French naturalist and medical missionary.
