Etymology: Craugastor loki is named after the Teutonic god of strife and fire, which is a reference to the two color pattern characteristics that can be used to distinguish it from congeners (Shannon and Werler 1955); however, these traits seem to be regionally restricted to southern Veracruz (Streicher et al. 2014). |
