| Etymology |
The specific epithet “carinolateralis” is a compound Latin adjective, derived from “carina” (meaning “keel” or “ridge”) and “lateralis” (meaning “lateral”), referring to the diagnostic character of coarse longitudinal carinae on the lateroventral portion of the head capsule. The name highlights this distinctive sculptural feature that distinguishes this new species from Myrmecina curvispina. |
