Etymology: The specific name, “lynchi”, is a patronym serving to honor John D. Lynch, who discovered the species during his explorations of the Bajo Calima region. Dr. Lynch also made significant contributions to understanding the taxonomy and systematics of the superfamily Brachycephaloidea, the most diverse family-group of amphibians also known as Terraranae (Ospina Sarria et al. 2022). |
