doi:10.15553/c2022v771a7 Etymology: 'The epithet fissuricola is a compound derived from the Latin noun fissura meaning 'crevice' and the agent noun -cola meaning 'inhabitor'. It functions as an adjective and means 'crevice-dweller', in reference to the habitat in shallow soil and crevices of calcareous rock'.
