| Comment | |
| Etymology | The specific name refers to the type locality, Pampa Yarabamba. “Yarabamba” is a word in Quechua language (actually spoken along the Andes in Peru, Bolivia, Chile and Argentina) that means “pampa de yaros”. “Yaro” or “yara” refers to a common legume tree in southwestern Peru (Prosopis sp.) and “bamba” means “pampa” or large plains. |
