Comment 
EtymologyNamed in honor of Ivaneide Bandeira Cardozo, also known as Neidinha Suruí, indigenist and director of the Kanindé Ethno-environmental Defence Association. As an amazon defender, Ivaneide Bandeira Cardozo fights in defence of the forest and indigenous peoples. In addition, the name honours the Paiter-Suruí ethnic group, who live on the border between the states of Mato Grosso and Rondônia (Brazil), where this species occurs. Suruí can mean, in Tupi, ‘river that slides’). Name in apposition.
