Name edit
Plestiodon finitimus Okamoto & Hikida, 2012: 9
- Holotype: KUZ R65128, adult ♂, collected by Taku Okamoto on 16 June 2008.
- Type locality: “Ikegami, Ota Ward, Tokyo Metropolis, eastern Japan (site 11, Fig. 1, N35°35', E139°42' [WGS84 coordinate], 20 m alt.)”.
- Etymology: The Latin epithet finitimus means ‘adjacent’ or ‘neighboring’ and refers to the parapatric geographic range of this species with the two congeners P. latiscutatus and P. japonicus. The epithet also means ‘related to’ or ‘similar to’ and refers to the morphological similarity to P. latiscutatus and P. japonicus owing to their close kinship.
