| Etymology | Named after La Venta Esplorazioni Geografiche, the organisation that facilitated the 2019 faunal survey of southwestern Iranian salt caves and their vicinity, during which the type series of this species was collected. The specific epithet is a noun in apposition and is therefore invariant. |
