| Etymology of specific epithet |
The wapixana refers to a native tribe from the Serra da Lua region in western Roraima state, northern Brazil. This native tribe has occupied this region for, at least, three centuries. The new species was mainly collected in the villages of Cantá and Bonfim situated in this region. The Wapixana tribe was under oppression by other native tribes and by colonizers, fact that contributed for a huge cultural loss (Ref. 116786).
