03F36A1784349D3149FCCAAA3853F86A.taxon	etymology	Etymology. The specific epithet merceae is a patronym honoring Mercedes Arrubla, an outstanding schoolteacher who fostered the growth of intellectual abilities in generations of children for more than 40 years near the municipality of Jardín (Antioquia), the type locality of the species described herein. Convinced of the importance of science experiments in the education of children, she is acknowledged for the development of citizen science groups of students in edaphology, mathematics, meteorology, and music. A tireless and warm person, someone who refuses to retire from the responsibility of promoting scientific thought among rural children. Biological notes. Host unknown.
