| Etymology | Named after Philip May (1946–2017), an American lichenologist and philanthropist, who was passionate about protecting biological diversity. During his life-time, his generous support of Nature and Culture International was instrumental to the protection of endangered ecosystems and endemic species in the Amazonas, Cajamarca, and La Libertad departments of Peru. Even after his death in 2018, his generosity has continued to protect Latin America’s biodiversity through charitable bequests. This new species was discovered in one of the departments that May supported during his life, and naming it after him, honors May’s enduring legacy as a champion of biodiversity. |
