The specific name, vosmaeri, is in honor of Dutch naturalist Arnout Vosmaer (1720–1799).[4]
Geographic range and habitatedit
R. vosmaerii is found in India.[1][3] Originally it was known only from the holotype. A second specimen was discovered in 2009 in an open scrub jungle in rocky habitat near Jaggayapet, Andhra Pradesh, some 170 years after the collection of the holotype.[1][5]
Descriptionedit
R. vosmaerii resembles L. lineata. However, L. vosmaerii has five digits on each front foot, where R. lineata has only four.[6]
