Etymology: Claea: Named for the Oreiad nymph of a sacred cave on Mount Kalathion in Messenia; dafangensis: Name 'dafangensis' from the type locality of the new species, Dafang County.
Eponymy: In Greek mythology, Claea was a nymph of a sacred cave on Mount Kalathion in Messenia in the Peloponnese. Kottelat chose this nymph’s name to replace another ‘nymph’ name – Oreias Sauvage, 1874 – which name was pre-occupied. (Ref. 128868), visit book page.
