The new specific name is derived from Latin word “niger” = black, a reference to its black body coloration, as the same meaning as its original name.

Remarks.

This species was originally described in Podabrinus , its original name is a junior secondary homonym of Lycocerus nigricolor (Pic, 1938) (originally in Athemus , located in Malaya), so it was replaced by Lycocerus nigeratus nom. n. (ICZN, 4th, article 57.3.1).
