Diagnosis 
CommentInformation request form sent to authors on 4/2/2023 with details requested for next database release. 
EtymologyThe species epithet is dedicated to the Celsia Foundation, for their voluntary contribution to the restoration of cloud and dry forests in the tropical Andes, through their reforestation program Reverde-C, which already planted more than one million trees. In addition, their program for children education in rural areas, already benefited more than 16000 students in terms of school infrastructure, teacher training, and further logistic support during the Covid pandemic. We believe their commitment contributes to the well-being and education of direct neighbours and thereby stakeholders of Colombian protected nature.
