The species name refers to the type locality, Chiang Mai, Thailand.[2]

gollark: *Self*-repairing - going to an anvil is still a chore - and the effectiveness of repairs drops if you do them lots - and XP cost.
gollark: Slowly self-repairing pickaxes? It's nice to not have to replace your "random utility pickaxe" half the time.
gollark: I mean, sure, real life pickaxes can't magically go faster if you sprinkle redstone on them. But you can't make industrial machinery out of piles of metal bars and redstone, smelt iron using a cube made from rocks, kill giant spiders running around everywhere with your fists...
gollark: Why?
gollark: TiCon is hardly fantasy. It's just not completely realistic. Like, well, all of Minecraft.
