Name

Type locality: Pianma Road at Fengxue Yakou (pass), 3150 m, Luzhang Township, Lushui County, Yunnan Province, China.
Etymology: This species epithet, a feminine genitive plural noun in appoisition, is a compound word derived from the Greek exochos, an adjective meaning jutting out, projecting, or prominent, and pleura, the Greek word for side, here referring specifically to the prominently projecting apices of the elytral epipleura seen in adult males and, to a slightly lesser extent, females of this species.
