Etymology:
"This species is named for the late Dr Laurie Besley (Bes), distinguished scientist with CSIRO in Sydney and subsequently Director of the Australian National Measurement Institute, Sydney. Bes was a man of significant intellect with a humble and dignified nature. He was a valued friend who
had a very positive influence on my life. Fisk and Heng (2013) provide a most fitting obituary of Bes."
