Etymology“The specific name, used here as a noun in apposition, is derived from the word “ayeush”, of masculine gender, which means “brother” in the language of the Ayamanes (Ayama, or Yama, or Wayama)(Querales 2001), an Arawak ethnic group whose territory extended to current municipalities of the Falcón State (Democracia, Sucre, Federación and Unión) and Lara State (Irribaren, Torres, Crespo and Urdaneta), where it is located the Serranía de Parupano, type locality of the new species. The name is meant to be dedicated to my late friend and appreciated colleague Rommel Azuaje, outstanding member of the Forest Fireman Group of the University of The Andes deceased in 2006” [ESQUESDA 2011]
