| Comment | |
| Etymology | The specific epithet, neglectus, is a Latin name meaning “neglected” or “forgotten”. The name is a suitable reference to an arboreal lizard species that remained undetected despite over 200 years of zoological inventories in the Serra dos Órgãos, now a popular tourist destination close to the large city of Rio de Janeiro. The name also alludes to the tragedy that hit the Museu Nacional do Rio de Janeiro, Brazil’s first scientific institution, which became 200 years old in 2018. On September 2nd of that same year, after decades of negligence on the part of federal administrations, the Museum’s main building (the São Cristóvão Palace) was consumed by a catastrophic fire. The fire led to the destruction of public exhibits, laboratories, libraries, and up to 18 million items in the archaeological, anthropological, historical, and zoological collections. |
